I have a Stainless steel Handgun with some minor scratches. How do I remove them and then polish it?

When I was younger and dumber, I tried removing minor scratches from my 686. My gun wound up looking like it was molting. I did get the scratches out but in so doing I had very bright spots mixed with the original, not quite that bright, finish. My attempts to make everything match, simply made matters worse. I sent it off to a gunsmith that specialized in refinishing guns. Cost me $100 (this was years ago) and I got back an evenly finished gun.

Take the gun to someone who knows how to do this kind of work and save yourself some grief.
