Good point. I don't know what they are trying to say either, but I chalk it up to a reporter who have never fired a gun before and wouldn't have a clue about what they were saying during the briefing. If you check Shotgun News or any number of similar sources, you should be able to find the replacement barrels I was talking about.

I've seen the barrels

I have bought several from Federal for Walther PP's that had worn out barrels - they keep making them for more & more models every year
