You can usually always find great used Model 29's from the 70's for not a lot of money. People trade them in or consign them all the time.
So my recommendation, is to try to find a good condition, used, model 29, either 4 or 6 inches.
I paid around $600 for this one used and in great condition, the bore looks new.
I wouldn't bother with a special, you can shoot both out of a "real" 44 mag and why limit yourself to special only loads that are harder to find.
