A friend of my dad's had a conical 'cap' or ring put on the very tip of his Beretta barrel, just for that reason. When the slide returns to battery, the hole in the slide "rides" onto the cap, forcing everything to lock together with a tiny bit of tension, and always to the same place (well, fairly close).

It reduced the movement of the barrel from visible and audible to pretty much nil.

I'm not sure how he got it done though, since the tip of the barrel had to be threaded, and any gunsmith who says "ok" to threading the tip of your 9mil. is a little shady.

It's permanent now though, I believe.

Anyways, all I was saying with respect to the 'rifled barrel" question was that it's really not the first thing to worry about with respect to getting good accuracy out of a GBB.
