Kid's first Pistol?

[Mr. Vegas]

My boy is 12 also..I started him out when he was 9 with a 22 browning buckmark...he loves it..now he shoots both my .45's like a champ...says he want a .40 cal for his bday...

+1 on the job well done introducing him to a wholesome sport and hobby.

Thanks all...

Ruger Single Six's aren't as cheap as I remember so I'm getting a Heritage Rough Rider from Buds...
Great Price... and prefer the 4 inch barrel...
Beats everything I saw on GunsAmerica and GunBroker.

Thanks Again!

Great choice!! It really is hard to go wrong with a wheelgun. They've withstood the test of time very well, and it frees your boy up to concentrate on the mechanics of shooting a handgun well, without throwing in some of the snafu's that only come with autos (FTF, stovepipe, etc.) I'm sure he will come to love the gun.

I think you guys will love that Rough Rider. We have enjoyed ours. I found it interesting that Heritage put a manual safety on their Rough Rider revolvers. Happy Shooting!

Good choice. I got my first pistol, a Single Six, at age 10.
