Glad to know that worked. I think it would not have worked if the bulge had been larger. The accuracy might suffer a bit because the slide (with the sights) is not as tight on the barrel as it should be but that could be gotten around with welding the inside of the slide muzzle. Or maybe just trading the gun now it works OK.
That gun may even have a barrel bushing, I am not sure. Many pistols have bushings because the hole in the front of the slide is used to machine the inside of the slide; some guns, like the M1911, fill the gap with a bushing that can be removed. Others, like the BHP, have a bushing, it is just fixed in place and not normally removable.
