There are a couple of ways to do this.
First is to buy a conversion cylinder for a c&b revolver. If you go this route, I would recommend you consider one of the cylinders cut for the 41 Colt. The inside lubed bullet in the 41 is several thousandths larger than the bore of the revolver but it easily swages down and is much more accurate that sending .357 bullets down a .375 barrel.
Or, buy one of the factory made 38 S&W Special open top revolvers. They come from the factory with a properly dimensioned bore fore the cartridge.
I have a pair of replica Richards conversions for the modern 44 Colt cartridge with proper .429 bores. Nice shooting revolvers.
