There certainly have been many RG, Arminus, and other firearms made to fire .357, .44 magnum, and .45 Colt, which were made from Zamak alloy. Its not a form of wrought iron, which is what "pot metal" actually is, but it is what people think of when they think of "pot metal" used in guns.

These guns don't blow up because the barrel lining and cylinders are made from the appropriate type of steels and they contain the pressures properly.
