Jon,
My VL came with the red cutaway handle you show, except that mine has a metal end piece that doesn't show in your photo (I can't tell if its missing or the photo is just cut off). Anyway, if it's the same handle, you do have to remove it in order to get at the needle. I've never seen a cutaway handle that didn't need to be removed to access the needle--- both my Iwata AB's have this cutaway type of handle, and they're designed the same way. I wouldn't recommend buying the red handle, though. I ended up having to replace mine because the plastic threads deteriorated quickly and made it difficult to screw the thing back together. I tried to order a metal version of the cutaway handle from Paasche but they didn't have one, so I ended up with a "closed" metal one instead.
