p238 barrel stainless or not?

[ns66]

Hi, does anyone know for sure if sig p238 barrel is stainless or not? from their official website they only specifies slide as stainless, and frame depends on model, nothing about barrel

thanks

No. The barrel is not stainless.

Definitely not stainless. I sweated all over mine and didnt get it cleaned up soon enough.. found the barrel starting to rust beneath the slide.

thanks for the replies,
the reason i asked is i saw some people polished the barrel (yeah i don't like the black look either), some claim top of the ejection port area is not coated so removing the rest of the black coat is not going to cause it to rust...
