As for the chain fire issue, I am of the opinion that the dominant chain fire mechanism is through the breech. Just look at slow motion pictures of a BP revolver being fired. Sparks and fireworks all over the place. Sam Colt discussed at a London conference the features he found necessary to reduce sparks from one cylinder from going down the nipple of the next.

I've got an old 58 Remmy that will chainfire every time unless the balls are lubed or wads are used. You can load all six and just cap one chamber at a time and it won't chainfire with lube or wads and that's using 40 grs. of powder. I know, I tried it to see if it would.
