I am not quite sure why you would want the relatively simply 9mm in a
revolver.(but I am not a "small frame .38" fan either)
Certainly they have some high performance 9mm rounds at a buck a shot
or more but the same companies load a lot more capable 357 for the
same price.
I suppose a 9mm cylinder for a .38 revolver might be an interesting
thing tho. If you are just out for relatively cheep shooting the .0002
smaller bullet in a .38 bore would be insignificant.

I don't really want one. 9mm ammo is relatively easy to come by, and is cheaper than .38 for target
practice, which is what Hank was talking about. I think. That's what made me look into the 9mm
revolver. If I were to get another revolver, it'd be either a big .45 or a .22.

I have a few revolvers. My OM Match .38 is what I used to shoot all
the time, It is actually somewhat a collector piece, the heavy barrel
model with fully adjustable sights. I got it at Ye Olde Hunter for
about $40 around 1967, heluva deal.
I have an old SNS .38 S&W (caliber, not brand) that is pretty much
junk but it was given to me. It was one of my former FIL's "throw
down" guns when he was a DC cop. It might be more dangerous for the
shooter than the shootee.

I also have a Colt frontier scout .22 SAA clone but most of the time I
just shot rat shot out of it, Since we eliminated our rodent problems,
that is not very often now but it is still loaded with CCI shot.

I am really a semi auto guy at heart tho.

I've gone the other way. I have one semi-auto pistol left, and it is the
one I am going to keep. A friend wants to buy my .45 ACP revolver, and
I'll think about using the proceeds from that to buy a S&W 628. That
will leave me with two revolvers I use, the other being the .45 Long
Colt, and the matched pair of never been fired single action "cowboy"
revolvers that live in my safe.
