I have a Glock 17, 26, and a HK USP9. All of them have the same style of rifling, and all are noticeably different from the rifling in my SIG P220. I always assumed polygonal rifling referred to the shape of the lands, contrasting with the sharp-shoulder type of lands seen in a conventional barrel. If the Glock doesn't have polygonal rifling, I don't know what it is then, but mine are definitely distinguishable from conventional rifling.
