[QUOTE="z06man, post: 1495364, member: 6182"] I'd start with a .22 rifle. They're easy to handle, usually quite accurate and inexpensive so you can afford to practice plenty without breaking the bank. Learning to use iron sights on a rifle translates perfectly well to pistols and they can build their confidence easier with the rifle. If the wife is small, you could start them both off with the Crickett. As far as the age of your son, it's going to vary with individual personalities. You'll have to make the call whether he is mature, responsible and attentive enough to handle a firearm yet. Never forget even a little .22 can cause a lot of damage or even death. [/QUOTE]
