You get my first post here, as I am also a new 9mm P320 Compact owner.
I bought mine 2 weeks ago. I got it home, stripped it down totally, and gave everything a Baristol bath, getting rid of all manufacturing residue. I then lubed it down completely with the tube of Lucas oil they gave me with the gun. (I need to get some real grease for the slide, so I do not get as much leakage of oil ...)
My only gripe about the gun was that the Sights were not centered, but that was an easy fix
I then went to the range shot off 200 rounds of 115 grain target rounds
Pulled it apart for a quick peeks, and did nothing.
Went out yesterday put another 200 through it, but this time I mixed it up. Some 115gr target, some 124g hollow points, some 147g FMJ and some Hornandy 124g +p xtp's, just to see how well it shot some different ammo ( would have shot some more, but I just had to hit the rifle lane and shake the rust off the AR)
Happy to say it worked flawlessly, well, except for me not being used to combat sighting picture so I kept hitting low if I did not think about it. I am not the best shot, my groupings were rather large, but I can hit center mass reliably
Anyways, I just broke mine down and have it sitting in front of me, and honestly I am still half asleep and do not feel like taking pics...cause my desk is a disaster
I checked all the Barrel pics you posted, and I have none of the wear you do in the first couple, and very minimal in the other pics, but those area's are where barrel meet slide. Nor is there and wear showing in the slide area's you have posted. I do have some wear in the area of the last pic, but again I expect some there, just make sure they stay lubed. Mine still looks brand new for the most part, once I wiped it down.
I may get you some pics later, because I want to clean it and re lube it
