John it's probably a misprint.
A lot of mfg's will call a black gun blue even though its' not bluing.
I don't even think Taurus blues any guns anymore.
I know the 85 I just got the black model use to be polished blued, but is now some sort of black parkerized or something, It's ugly as sin, I prefer stainless anyway so that's what I went with.
@tobnpr
It's just a personal preference I like all stainless finishes I'd say I like polished best but it's not a sticking point for me and I don't bother polishing up guns that aren't.
If I was a hunter or something I can see how a bright light reflecting barrel would be bad..
But in such cases I'd just hit it with a can of flat black krylon, or high temp bbq/engine paint, could remove it later if you change your mind a lot easier to having it bead blasted.. but that's just me.
