I have to go with both. The semi auto brings back memories of plinking with my Grandfather in 1953 with his Ruger.
The single actions because it brings out the Cowboy in me.

Yaworski, You are missing out on one of the finer things of life.
Anything that shoots. LOL. I keep a database of my firearms that has the last date it was fired. I usually just take them in orderWhich do you guys prefer for plinking? Single action, double action, or semi auto. I prefer single action.View attachment 21045
Nice shooters. I have gone a little farther and can recommend ANY action depending on my attitude that particular day...lolWhich do you guys prefer for plinking? Single action, double action, or semi auto. I prefer single action.View attachment 21045
I just got a NAA Ranger and am trying to learn to load it without putting my hand over the muzzle. I'm almost there after practicing for about 2 weeks (with it unloaded). I also found the hammer spring to be very heavy for my VERY old hands, and I'm not sure I will be able to shoot all 5 rounds before my thumb is too tired to pull it back. But it is a fun little gun.I never liked big .22's, or full sized centerfires bored to .22. They get boring quick. I like my .22 SP101 4" but that's as big as I like for a .22
I have a MKI and a MKIV, they also feel perfect for .22 but I also lose interest after 100 rounds and usually end up picking cans or water bottles out of the garbage at the club to shoot. Punching paper with a .22 auto doesn't do much for me .
The Bearcat feels perfect for .22 because it's fun, feels good in my hand and kind of lives in between a "kit gun" , small plinker, carry gun, "throw in the range bag as a little piece to pop stuff with before packing up". I fired some Stingers through it and it felt like a .22 Mag
I feel like with a single action .22 I find myself being like "one more cylinder and it's time to go" and end up putting another 50 through it , or 50 more after that because I can't put it down.
The NAA is kind of a Ruger cousin, since they sort of share a bloodline and even they are inexplicably fun to see if you can hit anything with. They are very snappy with Stingers and fun to practice with. I even have a .22 Short NAA that's impossible not to have fun with. Too bad .22 Short costs more than 9mm
