Another consideration here is the factory treats the surface of stainless guns (I can't recall the method or name of the process), and polishing removes whatever the factory applied. I think I have the post bookmarked elsewhere and will edit if I can find it.
Edited to add: "passivation", creates a surface film making the surface more corrosion-resistant.
