I've started mine on a 20 guage semi. the brand i bought is tristar. i got it at g &h and it was cheap. i've been very impressed with the gun. shoots well with little recoil.

This. ^^^^^^ I bought one for my son also at the same place. It comes with two stocks, a youth to fit him now (short length of pull) perfect for a kid, and an adult, so it can be shot by him or you later. My son was 7 when I got it, handled it well, and he shot only one shell for a while. He's 11 now and got a 12 gauge last year for Christmas.

We hunt a lot of kids at our camp in GC and pretty much all have started with a .410 and graduated to 870 20g. Always bring BB gun cause usually kids that young don't want to shoot a box of .410 shells. Few shots at birds or cripples on water and they are satisfied.

I'm so impressed with his little gun I'm buying a 12 gauge semi auto for a backup
