You are correct, I am indeed looking for the first rather than the latter. I find the second style to be just this side of uglier than a mud fence, so I'd prefer to avoid it. That being said, I have never held a pistol with that grip so I have no way of knowing if it will be comfortable or balanced for me or not. My decision is purely based on looks.
As to the barrel length, this will be at the least a third gun carried in a Holiday rig along with either paired 4-3/4 Italian SAA clones, paired vaqueros 5.5 and 7.5 or as a backup to a 1851 Navy cartridge conversion "Man with No Name" gun if I can ever find one locally. And I've found that Uberti makes them in that grip up to atleast 4.75 or atleast according to their website. Any more barrel than that, and I'd be wanting the plow handle anyway.
James.
