This is what I was going off of:

If it was a special run in carbon steel, then still not a biggy since loads and loads of auto pistols have been made using carbon steels barrels without problems.
The Glock recommended 2 drops of lube externally smeared around, plus occasional clean and lube of the vote and chamber should keep everything going fine.
Should be fine without a finish. I've been running a lone wolf 416 stainless in my G21 for a while. Its bead blasted, but no coatings have been applied. It looks fine, no rust, normal wear.
Doubt you will have any issues with even minimal care of it. Install it, shoot it and dont look back.
Colt, S&W and numerous other manufacturers have or are using stainless barrels with no finish applied in their pistols with no issues. Just run it as is.
You’ll be just fine with that stainless steel barrel. You’d probably be fine if it was in the white.
This reminds me of a Kimber Stainless Pro Carry II that I purchased. After having it for a while, someone pointed out to me that the barrel was unfinished carbon steel. I thought that he didn’t know what he was talking about. After all, I had purchased the stainless model. I looked it up on Kimber’s website which said that the barrel was made from “match grade steel”. My BS meter went off, so I called them. Sure enough, they confirmed that the barrel is unfinished carbon steel. It goes to show that you can’t really tell by looking at a barrel (and you can’t really trust Kimber’s marketing).
