I think it's clear from usage that the modern sense is far more common.

1) 記者たちはおっとり刀で事故現場にかけつけた。 Caught with their pants down, newsmen rushed to the scene of the accident quite unprepared. http://jukuu.com/jsearch.php?q=おっとり - 2) Meikyo: 急な事態に刀を腰にさすひまもなく、手に持ったままであること。 ＞ 急な用事で、取るものも取りあえず急いで行くことの形容に使う。「〜で駆けつける」 - 3) 押っ取りは「急いで手に取る」「勢いよくつかみ取る」ことを意味する「押っ取る」の連用形で、押っ（おっ）は「おっぱじめる」や「お ったまげる」の「おっ」と同じ、動詞に付いて意味を強める「押し」の音変化である。 元々、おっとり刀は急な出来事で刀を腰に差す暇もなく、手に持ったままであることをいい、刀を使用しなくなった現代では、取るものも取らず に急いで駆けつける形容として用いる。 http://gogen-allguide.com/o/ottorigatana.html - 4) "unprepared action" doesn't convey the meaning very clearly, I feel. It misses the extreme sense of urgency that is in 押っ取り刀. 5) "something done on the spur of the moment" makes it sound like something relatively casual, like impulse buying.
