Portability: Pietta Ace 1858 vs. 1860 Snubnose in .36 or .44. (Birdshead grip)

Good morning all.
I’ve got a Pietta Ace and love it except for how bulky the grip is. I’m thinking of getting the 1860 snubnose in either .36 or .44 but don’t know how this would compare in terms of portability/concealment. Leaning more towards the .36. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks y’all.

A colt 1860 design in .36 is known as an 1861.
Of the three types of guns you’ve mentioned an 1861 is by far the more concealable. It’s a smaller package.
