  1. I am looking for my son's first shotgun. At 6 years old, he has already been my trapper for skeet and sporting clays for 2 years. He loves the sport, and now he wants to participate. He has shown exemplary patience and behavior, or I would not consider starting him this young. I want to buy him a 20 guage inertia-driven gun. But before anyone comes with other solutions, let me explain why I want this choice. First of all, I will never buy another gas operated gun again. I'm a clean freak with all of my weapons, and those guns are tedious for me. Secondly, there is no argument that one can give that will convince me that any pump or O/U with the same weight and recoil pad will have less recoil than a semi-auto. The inertia drive may be less forgiving than gas, but it's better than the other options. There is something to be said for a pump and young shooter safety. But I can always just give him 1 round at a time until he proves he's responsible enough for 2. I know they make the Montefeltro in a youth model, but it doesn't have a ComfortTech stock. Why wouldn't Benelli want to offer their most innovative technology to women and young shooters? I would hate to have to buy a full size gun and cut it down.
