  16. #...I double checked with a Glock 21 owner, he took
  17. #a look and stated it does have a polygonal barrel as well.

  19. What, exactly, does a "polygonal" barrel mean? I assume from the context
  20. that it refers in some way to the rifling. However, looking at my 
  21. Glock's barrel, I don't notice any property of the rifling I'd refer to
  22. in this way...
