.22lr handgun for youth

pietro75
I have four boys 5,8,9.5,14

I want to get them a .22 handgun that they can handle properly and learn good aiming and shooting tech. Please give me advice. Thank you in advance.

    ruger single six --accurate, economically priced, will outlast the kids. If you have a bigger wallet then a S&W k-17 is a great buy. If you are on a really tight budget the Taurus 94 is hard to beat. You can of course get them an auto like a ruger or beretta but for novice shooters a revolver is a good start.

    High Standard Victor or any other High Standard .22. I like to carry around a Sentinal for plinking and such. Holds nine shots.

    I tend to agree with ruger41, but will add the model 34 or model 63 kit gun from Smith & Wesson. I will also subtract the Taurus anything. They are junk, and can not be depended upon.

    Ruger Single Six. If they have small hands, go for the Ruger Bearcat.

    All good suggestions, I'll add a S&W Model 18 to the pile of revolvers and a ruger Mark II or earlier model if you are considering a self loading pistol. My kids learned with a standard Ruger pistol that is still going strong after 30 years!

    single six is great ....if your are getting one for each would recommend heritage for economy....prefer a single action WITH adjustable sight for beginner

    Bearcat, Single Six, S&W 63, Ruger and Browning also have fine semi-autos.

    Single Six would be an excellent choice.
    Double action with swing out cylinder has the (advantage?) of quick and easy check of all chambers for possible live rounds.
    I started at age 5 with a Woodsman, but as a general rule would go with the revolver; adjustable sights a real plus.
