Remember that when you're firing a weapon underwater, you're adding the mass of the water in the barrel to the mass of the bullet.
In other words, instead of firing a 124 grain JHP, you're firing a 224 grain JHP...the weight of the bullet (124) plus the weight of the water (100) with the same amount of powder and the same barrel length. (Please note that I am only guessing about the weight of the water.)
This is what leads to your pressure problems, not the design of the pistol.
