For that application, I'd trust anybody to do it. Do some googling for a local shop that does "salt bath nitride" or "ferritic nitrocarburizing".
I think the trouble you're going to run into is the batch charge. Most outfits don't want to deal with some schmoe's one little part, so there is a batch charge, which will cover a LOT more than one little pistol barrel. If you find a local outfit, they may do it for free or nearly free.
If you come up empty handed locally, I know of 3 places for sure:
KC Jones (Warren Michigan)
H&M Metal processing (Cleveland Ohio)
MMI Trutec (out west, forget where)
If you're in no particular hurry, I plan to send a batch of odds and ends off to H&M later this year. If you want, you can send the barrel to me (when I'm about to send my batch) and I'll toss it in there with mine.

MMI Trutec charged $10 plus shipping for my last bolt that i sent in. Google them and call their Arkansas location. Ridney Lanier is the guy to talk to.
