Here are pics of my 30 yr. old G19 barrel. Other than the loss of bluing, it actually looks better than yours especially at the muzzle end.
This is exactly what I was trying to explain, little to no wear at all.
My G19X is like this. The barrel has maybe 250 to 300 rounds down it and the finish on the barrel on those same spots is worn. It was like that very very quickly.
I bought a Gen 4 G19 just prior to that and that barrel has like 500 rounds down it and looks brand new. So I just thought to myself the finish on the Gen 5 barrels wasn't as good.

i have 0 wear on my barrel and i have well over 1500-2000 rounds through it, just adding my experience
Glock U.S.A. made guns no longer have the Tenifer finish due to U.S. environmental/permit controls. The Tenifer finish has, in part of the process, cyanide as a medium. They have tried to get close to the wear of the Tenifer but have not gotten there yet.
Having said that, has the OP dealt with IRG yet? First call I'd make to start the ball rolling. You are right in thinking that wear shouldn't be like that. My early gen 3 has seen thousands of rounds in numerous comps and training classes and still looks way better than the photo of the barrel he included.
P.
Saw somewhere that MOS variant are not built in the US at all. Dont know if thats true but that would make by default OP handgun an Austrian made one. If the environmental concern is only at the moment of applying the finish that would exempt the OP Glock from these regulation and mean it has the standart Glock finish. I might be wrong tho
This is Austrian built MOS. Irun has contacted me and I will keep updated.
**update** Irun and Glock contacted me immediately.Irun is on top of it and the barrel will be returned to
Glock for refinishing. Have to admit the customer service I received from both especially Irun is the best I have ever had from any company regarding any product. Good to see someone these days admitting these things happen owning up and rectifying it immediately with no run around. I also like Irun and didn’t want to cross them off my list as they always have the stuff that everybody else seems to be out of stock of in Canada.

Why would a “new” barrel need refinishing? I’m sure it didn’t leave the factory looking like that. That kind of wear should not be on a new barrel even if it was cycled a few times. There must be something more to this story.
Either way, glad it’s been looked after.

This is from IRG so not Canadian. However, Jim from Glock Canada is fantastic to deal with.
That is debatable and depends on your experiences with him....
Anyhow you stated that You have 0 rounds through it, how about the guy before you?
Was the gun advertised and sold as new or used?
Definitely a very WELL used barrel you got there....
IRUN and Glock have gone much higher on my list of most respected businesses to deal with, their prompt reaction is a confidence and trust instilling to say the least.
But to slap a new finish on a barrel that has gone to hell and back shooting unknown number of rounds?! The only proper course of action to rectify this (in my opinion) would be to replace this shot out barrel for a brand new, only factory tested and shot barrel. Nothing replaces the excitement of box opening and that shiny brand spanking new firearm feeling and I feel more than confident that IRUN and Glock will take care of this customer and allow him to experience that thrilling feeling of excitement with his brand new Glock purchase, one of the finest firearms in the world, right next to CZ, Sig, Ruger, FN and S&W. My 2 cents.

We don't know that it was shot out. A picture of the bore would be helpful.
