While I haven't personally held an FBI issued and owned "M" gun in hand, I have fondled an "M" gun and that barrel was identical to the 5th gen barrels.
The all still use polygonal barrels, but the 5th Gen and M gun I saw have raised edges to better grab the bullet. It is what Glock calls their Marksmen Barrels.
This article outlines the specs on the FBI "M"guns as well. It is referred to as a Polygonal Hybrid barrel.

Took mine apart tonight to give is a little lube and check out the internals for any oddities. Everything looks perfect, no strange wear marks and it looks GTG for Thursday. I'll update after the day, then she will get a through cleaning and inspection. I am more impressed with the little MR the more I shoot it.

How tight is your locking block? Mine comes out of the frame with ease. The block is usually pretty tight in a Glock. Especially when new.

Same with mine, I was concerned with it at first, but it hasn't effected accuracy at all. Accuracy just keeps getting better and better. It really seems to have settled in during todays session. I ran 6 mags through it at one time, including a dump on three of them to see how it would handle heating up. It didn't cause any issues and the block is still the same, no more loose or tight, and no abnormal marks or wear.
My Glocks fit tight as well, but it never helped them shoot any better, so I'm not to worried about it. When the slide and barrel is locked up, the barrel should be putting pressure on the locking block, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Should it become a problem, I will contact Shadow, but at this point i'm good with it. Not good or bad, just different. I have no doubt that Shadow Systems would make it right if a problem develops from it.

I’m looking for a nomad 9 in Milwaukee. I got my hands on one when I dropped in at Rainer Arms a few months ago.

Here's my Nomad frame with a recently purchased Gen 5 top half.
Maybe contact Nomad directly and see if they can recommend a shop in your area.

Do you like the frame more than OEM? G4 frames are rare and I have 2 g19.4 slides sitting idle. I’m hoping for a gen 4 p80 soon.Here's my Nomad frame with a recently purchased Gen 5 top half.

I like the frame pretty well. It has a 1913 rail instead of the Glock light rail. It has flared finger/thumb points above the trigger guard and the trigger guard itself is a little bigger than the factory Glock. It has replaceable backstap panels that blend well into the frame. Most important to me is the extended beavertail.
I wish the texture was a little more aggressive. I also wish Nomad had a flatter backstrap insert. Holsters might be a little tricky. I have an old leather Bianchi IWB that fits the Nomad but it won't fit in the few Glock kydex holsters I have. It will, however, fit in a Safariland duty holster that's made for a Glock 19 with a TLR-1.
As with the Shadow, the unknown is the polymer material used. Will it hold up over the long haul?
