looking to get my grandson a 410 or a 20G he is 11 quite tall for his age and growing he handles the 410 better but I think he might grow out of it quickly, he has used the 20G but prefers the 410 what's peoples experience with this

Stick with the 4.10

He's happy to shoot it and enjoy it

 

He's going to be able to decide whether to move up

 

Enjoy the moment

I even got myself one so it was fair competition 😗👌

 

Then when he beat me a few times I took out a 20 bore in his size (bad looser ) 😗😗

So I could win 😂

 

The cunning plan has worked so far 😂😂😂

 

All the best

At that age, he should be able to handle a 20.

 

I started with a 410 at 8 but got onto the 12 SxS when 12, and at 5lb for the 410, 7lb for the 12, a 20 at 6lb shooting light loads (21g) should be perfectly fine.

 

Would be worth getting a youth and adult stock or slim and thick recoil pad and swap as he grows into it if it would help.
