Semi-auto or "wheelgun" for casual shooting?

[Adam Helmer]

My bias is for old Smith & Wesson revolvers and Old Colt M1911 and 1911A1 autos. I do own a few 9mm Lugers and P-38s and a former duty Glock M19 9mm and a pair of Ruger .22 semi-auto pistols; I shoot them all.

I am talking just "blasting" be it paper targets, or tin cans for plinking recreation. Do you folks prefer a semi-auto or wheelgun? I really like shooting a nice old M27 S&W .357, or a M28 S&W with wadcutter handloads in the backyard. I shoot a lot of 200 grain cast SWC loads in my .45 autos. Wheelguns are old technology, but they have an aura about their function. Semis are fun guns to shoot because of their function.

Ok, so who prefers which and why?
