I'm posting here but don't think it may not be a Smith.

Anyway I saw a real pretty 4 inch 44 special today at the LGS that caught my eye and am intrigued. I want something in 44, should it be the Special or Mag? I know some people really like the Special and this one was reasonably priced... what should I do and why?

edit: it's not for hunting but for range time and maybe home protection.
