    We sell a lot of beretta a400 compacts for this purpose. After we tune them most will shoot the 3/4 ounce low recoil ammo. We use it a lot for lessons and beginners

    buy a 28 gauge. They recoil like a 410 and kill like a 20ga.

    I would not recommend the tri star. It has issues ejecting shells.

Sucks but he’s just not big enough to shoulder LOP on the compact youth 20’s yet but he’s close.
    Those stocks are too long for most kids anyway. Heck from what I've seen 'compact' or 'youth' puts the length of pull in the 12.5" range. I'm 5'7"and my LOP is 12 3/4. Of course I'm shorter than average, but my point is to really fit a kid even the short stocks need to be cut even down further.

    I cut an old Remington 20ga stock down as much as I could and did a grind to fit low profile pad and I think I got it down to 11.5". Daughter's almost ready to start shooting it too.

    My oldest is using a Mossberg 500 LH youth 20 gauge. I have 21” & 26” barrels. He’s shooting Kent bismuth 2 3/4 #5 or #6 for ducks. I stumbled upon a bunch on these last year at a good price.

    Mine is right handed but left eye dominant.

    Mine is right hand left eye as well. Is your’s using a M2? The only thing that I’m apprehensive about is the inertia system being a little stronger than gas.

    Correct, southpaws suffer.
    Then agin I’m a southpaw and would never own a left handed gun, always shot right handed guns and see no downside.

    Flop, what adjustment does that Beretta have that you mentioned to "tune" it?

    And banded, my apologies for assuming you hadn't checked eye dominance. I read your post wrong.

    Colt's been shooting a 12-guage M2 that he got about 2 weeks after his 10th birthday.

    He's a skinny kid and has never had a problem with it.

    No he is not using a M2 20 LH. One is definitely in his future but he will have to help earn/help pay for some of it. He started with a mossberg 510 mini in 410 and is currently shooting a mossberg 500 LH 20 ga.

    He wasn’t ready for the 20 ga until this year at 9 yo. The 510 mini 410 with TSS #9 killed his first ducks, wood duck and gadwall. It’s a fixed modified barrel. Works fine to 25ish yards.

    He will outgrow it in a few years. Length of pull is 10” ish and it comes with spacers.
