I don't like crack barrels for the little ones. Anything with a hammer is just too dangerous for young kids to handle. 90% of the time when you see a young kid **** a hammer they put the butt of the gun between their legs and grab the hammer with both thumbs and try to crank it back. One slip of the thumb and the hammer falls and hits the pin. Of course these are the older crack barrels I have seen and they don't have safety's. Also the danger of the hammer getting caught on something and firing off. I started out with a 410 bolt action. And moved up to a 20 870 and cut the stock off which that is what my nephew and step daughter use they're both 9 she shot her first duck with it at 6. I buy the low brass shells for it and they don't kick much. I think 20 would be the best route. Just find something low recoil and that they can handle comfortably. But definitely start off with one shot at a time.
