Default .40cal bullets in a .3948 bore? In a 41 Colt?

Just want to double and triple check myself here. This might sound crazy so stay with me here.

I'm wanting a modern built 41 Colt. Knowing this company I know they do not sell a firearm that takes a .386 diameter original 41 Colt. There is just no way logistically it makes sense in the volume they sell. So that got me on the phone tracking down an answer as to what this firearm really is by asking what is the diameter of the bore and chambers. All day long and several people calling other people an answer came.

SO from the sound of this do you guys think I could take some lead .40S&W bullets and load them into 41 Colt Starline brass, throw in some 4.5-5gr of Unique and call it a day? Or am I missing something somewhere? I won't have the firearm for a little bit so I can't slug it right now. Just kinda thinking and wondering out loud here.
