Yes.

When I was unable to get the frame to move on this short barrel revolver, I actually had a piece or steel round stock threaded through the web. I was getting ready to apply the force on the mechanical advantage but then stopped for a minute.

I thought about the frame twisting. I thought about a loud cracking noise.
I thought about the frame breaking and both me and the bar flying across the shop. Then I thought about just finishing the pistol with the barrel in place.

I have been able to remove any barrel I wanted to remove (all but the last one.) with only the pressure I could apply by hand.
