I wasn't so sure the diameter would offset the pressure in this case quite so nicely as for the bolt thrust, so found an online hoop stress calculator and played around with some numbers. It looks like if you take a 9mm barrel, and just make the hole smaller, the hoop stress is comparable to 9mm +P.
