You might break out a flashlight and see if you can spot how big the bulge is inside the barrel in the meantime.
I have owned a few .32 S&W HEs that had bulged barrels. I had no issues with them and accuracy was fine.

I have a 1899 5" in .32-20, a 1902 5" in .32-20, a 5" M&P in .38 special, a 1st model, a 2nd model and a 3rd model .44 Special, all three are 5". I have a M544 .44-40, which is a 5". I have a M27 converted to .44 Special. It is also a 5". I have a .38/44 Outdoorsman converted to a 5" .357. I even have a 5" Colt Official Police in .32-20.

Can we count my 1917 Commercial, which is a 5 1/2"? And my six single actions that measure 4 3/4"-4 5/8"?
