it would be noticable when reloading... but I have decided (for my past models) to leave the barrel straight so that the unknowing wouldnt mistake the tilted barrel for a modeling error.
That is actually a safety feature for most semi-pistols... I thnk the glocks are most noticable.
My team desperately needs a Skinner for weapons, characters, prefabs etc. for the duration of the remainder of the mod's development cycle.
This may possibly be a PAID position (on a skin to skin basis) depending on the quality and skill of the individuals work and portfolio.

We have a development team of around 6 or so... most of us...
