If you're gettin old, the longer barrel and blue finish is easier for your eyes to deal with. On a bright day those stainless sights disappear with the first shot. I'm not saying I'm getting old but I use 6 1/2" Ruger Vaqueros, these were only made in 44-40 for Friends of the NRA auctions so you know I got them cheap. The 51/2" bbl guns I consider perfect for most folks. But you might like the shorter ones. As for grips, I say go with the wood till you can save up for stags. They don't slip in your hand, they last a LONG time, and they look great. Plastic jes don't sit right with me on my cowboy stuff. As for .38/.357 I can make almost any .357 lever gun work perfectly with .38 spl EXCEPT for some MDL '94 Winchesters. I love the '94 but it doesn't like short , tiny cases. The '92 was designed for short cases as were all the toggle action pistol caliber Winchesters ['60, '66, '73]. When you go against a design, you take your chances.
