Default Possible for a pinned barrel to rotate from firing?

Hello, all. I was hoping to ask you a question. I've had my 19-3 for a month and half now, and I've taken it to the range thrice. I've shot ~125 rounds of 158gr .357mag, and around ~60 .38spl. I was cleaning my revolver today after the last range visit, and I noticed that grooves on the top of the barrel and frame were not in line with each other. They were just a little bit off. It seems like I remember checking that when I bought the gun and they were straight. Unfortunately, I didn't have a picture of the grooves from before, so I'm not sure.

Is it possible for the barrel, especially a pinned barrel, to rotate ever so slightly from firing or am I just mis-remembering the alignment of my barrel?

Thanks, in advance.
