Decision
After going to three gun shows, perusing many websites and blogs and visiting a couple of local gun stores I ended up taking the first suggestion made in this thread by @PetahW. I ordered a Rossi M92 from Steve's Gunz.
It's a 20", round barrel, blued carbine. It's going to take several months before it gets done, and it will cost (with the various bells and whistles) quite a bit more than I was planning, but I think I'll be very happy with it.
