Which .22 is most similar to 3913?

I am looking for a .22 semi-auto that is as similar in size, grip, and trigger pull as I can get to the S&W 3913 or 4013. I would like to have a .22 that I can shoot tons of rounds through that has at least some semblance of the same feel as my carry guns and I really don't want to blast that many 9mm or 40S&W rounds off just plinking at tin cans or leaves floating in the creek.

I am not so much concerned that it be the most accurate .22, just that it has a similar size, shape, and feel to it as the 3913 or 4013.

The SIG MOS22WD MOSQUITO 22LR looks like it might fit the bill, but I have never fired one and I have no idea what a SIG trigger is like.

I would appreciate any input on this to get me started in the right direction.

I haven't ever fired a 3913, so don't know what the trigger pull is like, but I can comment on the rest.

Generally, I have heard that the Mosquito is junk. TONS of complaints about FTF, FTE, etc - and there doesn't seem to be a brand of ammo that universally works. You have to find what works for YOUR gun and never use anything else.

My recommendation would be a 22A - super accurate (especially considering the price), will feed most anything (I've had issues with subsonics in mine), and very cost effective.

No gun exists in the S & W world. The closest (very roughly) would probably be a 4.5" 2206, but it is single action. The 22A would be a good choice but it is even less similar.
