[QUOTE="LRSNM, post: 2208546, member: 118191"] Went through the same process w my 2 boys and as a 4H shotgun instructor. Went from single shot .410 to 20ga auto for my boys. Some good advice previously posted. Depending on his current .410 there is a very good chance a 20ga gas auto will have less felt recoil so better chance on seeing him enjoy shooting and develope good shooting form. Most importantly is can he SAFELY handle a larger gun. I.e. can he mount the gun properly, control the muzzle etc. There are big differences in different gun weights even just by a half a pound. Have him try different guns even if it's just in a store. If he can you have some good options previously posted. Yes it's easy to get trigger happy with an auto. The fix is only let them load one round at a time until they prove themselves. My 2 cents on a gun is look at the Franchi Infinity 3. Below is a Quote from their website. I have 1st hand experience w this gun and it's 1st rate. The other advantage it comes with a spacer type system between the action and buttstock so you can adjust comb height and draft (up and down, left and right) so they get a semi custom fit. "Franchi’s Affinity 3 Compact is a short-stock, 24-inch or 26-inch version of the full-size Affinity 3. The buttstock offers a 123/8-inch length-of-pull, to which, spacers can be added. As a young shooter grows, so grows the gun. When appropriate, a full-size buttstock can be fitted to the Affinity 3 Compact. [/QUOTE]
