The special is very highly regarded as a particularly versatile and accurate cartridge, and is no slouch as a defense gun, either. Ruger make some fine revolvers, but this is the S&W forum, so most of us probably lean towards ten S&W.
That said, if you are looking for a heavy duty revolver capable of handling very hot 43 magnums, the Ruger has some very strong actions which will handle heavy handloads.
