Looking to get my 9 year old son his first shotgun this spring (for his b-day in June). I have had a SX3 for several years and love the gun. Does anyone have any expierence with the 20 gauge model and youth shooting? Couple weeks ago we where shooting some clay's and he was doing a good job with grandpas 410 Stoger O/U ,but we ran out of shells, so his uncle handed him is 12 gauge Browning A5 and surprising to me he was able to shoulder and hit clays with it. Which got me thinking he is getting close to being ready to move up and start wing shooting next year. I do not want to start with a pump then buy another gun.We will only be chambering 1 shell at a time for safety and to learn that the first shot from a semi auto is not a warning shot.
Does the gun shoulder well for smaller framed people?
Recoil -light, medium extreme?
Any info on the 20 gauge with youths is welcome.
Or other 20 gauge semi auto's around the same price.
