Actually, the 38WCF (38-40) is a dead ringer ballistically for the .40S&W in equal bullet weights. The 10mm is more powerful than both.

There is no problem with the 38-40 in revolvers. I have three of them. I also have a Uberti/Winchester 38-40 rifle. No problems there either. The 38-40 is much more accurate than the 44-40 (I have several of them too), especially the RUGER Vaquero 44-40 (Baa, humbug). Will provide more info if anyone is interested.

I am sure I once read that Jeff Davis Milton, one of the all time great lawmen, got rid of his 38/40 because it would set back and jam the cylinder.

I have heard of other people having the same problem. I have never fired one myself.
