Unless he is very young or small, I would check around for a used youth 20 o/u or SxS. The Stoger Condor Youth is great, about $350 + paperwork. They get used to the safety and trigger(s) quicker than you think. You can also restock an adult size gun to fit him (nothing fancy). In my opinion kids grow out of "little .410's" too quick, the're ill-fitting and the hammers are a handicap. You can get Little skeeters gauge reducers and use .410 or 28 gauge shells in the gun to start him and get much more use, and probably better results with the gun. Ya' get what ya' pay for.
