that's good thinking. I taught my then 7 year old son, 12 years ago, to shoot with a little Walther 22 semi auto because it fit his small hands and the double action trigger on my 22 revolvers was heavy as was the weight of those K frames. But at age 11, when I took him to a top training facility to do Level 2-3 handgun (the basic and advanced self defense and tactical shooting courses) I got him a Model 10 38 which was loaded with mild target loads. Those courses require reloading while moving etc and I knew that its pretty much impossible to have an AD while reloading a revolver with a speed loader. When he was 12, he was shooting a Kimber 1911 in 9mm and his last few times there, it was a SW M&P but the revolver was the best choice as a rookie. The only problem is that some older women have a problem with the 12 pound trigger pull most DA revolvers require,
I really want a Ruger LCRx in .22LR/3" barrel for training.
