Yes , absolutely More Friction is More Friction ! But that's not necessarily a Limiting Factor .
For magnum , +P+ , and much +P ammo, the Gas Erosion will far exceed the friction wear .
For a medium frame or larger , all steel revolver , shooting nearly exclusively mild , low pressure lead bullets , it is indeed possible to rack up 50k to 100k round counts .
It used to happen back in the Revolver Era ,with LE/ Corrections/ Security outfits with dedicated " training guns " , or PPC Shooting Teams , where the job supplied unlimited practice ammo and in house range time .
A private individual , paying out of their pocket spending enough on ammo to wear out a bbl from friction wear ? Never say never , but 99.99% unlikely .
