[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3224363, member: 5412"] I'd probably recommend the 20 ga with light loads. Contrary to public opinion, the .410 is best left to more experienced shooters. It has severe limitations that will intimidate young shooters. That being said, a .410 was my first gun at 11 yrs old, and I still have it. I had to learn the limitations the hard way holding fire way after others were dropping dove until they got into my range and so on. The 20 ga gives her room to grow. A Rem 1100 light 20 youth is hard to find and probably expensive, but they are a gas gun with much lighter recoil built on a real 20 ga aluminum frame to make it lighter vs a single shot or double barrel .410. (Remington did make a run of .410 1100's though for the skeet guys) They are extremely hard to find and expensive. Our local gun shop had a collection of 1100's in .410, 28ga, 20 ga, and 12 ga. All with the sequential SN. I can't imagine what that brought when he passed away. A .410 is pretty lethal with all the new .410 ammo brought out for the Taurus Judge, and the S&W Governor for self defense, and if I read the regs right, a slug in a .410 is legal for deer in Ok now. I'll have to review the deer regs though to confirm. [/QUOTE]
