Apex describe the new barrel as:

Designed specifically for the FN 509 model pistols with a factory 4.00” barrel, the Apex 9mm Threaded Barrel is machined from heat treated stainless steel. Each barrel is then black Melonite finished before it’s machined a second time to add contrasting stainless flutes.
