I expect any of the custom makers would be glad to make you one.  Kinda long for a pistol barrel, though.

You can buy an encore 460 Katahdin barrel directly from Thompson Center that is 20 inches SS fluted.

I have one of the encore 460 Katahdin/20" factory barrels.  With the 200 grain Hornady ammo, my Chrony says well over 2500 fps.   I may be switching to a 445 SM.  No problem with the 460, just wanting to do something different.
