Black powder pressure decays pretty fast and the barrels can be well tapered. One reason rusty Damascus shotgun barrels tend to blow out into your support hand; the breech is amply thick but the taper is faster than for smokeless and with a weaker material.

This is a good quality "overcoat" pistol, rifled for ball, and I don't know where the guys are getting the shotgun stuff.
