Kids don’t care what a gun weighs, Lloyd.

Good on you getting him something meaningful to celebrate the even keel he is keeping his life on. Not sure how I feel about a kid gun that has very specific ammunition requirements. I had a friend who thought nothing of loading up his 2 3/4” Remington 1100 with 3” rounds and shooting it at ducks. That gun lives at my house now, via a series of really strange twists, and, it is the epitome of a rode hard and put away wet gun. It has some issues with cycling that I’m working on, but, it is far enough gone that if I get it working, great, if not, oh well.

Kids approach life differently. Especially the males.

As always, good luck.

Best,
Ted
