For the cost of a conversion you can buy a nice used 22 pistol. I like Ruger Super Single Six for kids. Semi autos don't teach a kid accuracy like a revolver does. If the kid is small then a Bearcat Ruger would be just the ticket. Revolvers teach a kid manual dexderity, accuracy and patience. Less likely to spray and pray.
I like the glocks in 9MM because if it's your first then it's cheaper to shoot and learn to be good. 9mm is about $11 a box and 40 is $16. You will master the gun quicker when you shoot more.
