I did a bunch of looking myself. I ended up getting the Savage Rascal. Threaded model of coarse. Going to stamp it and make it truly kid sized.
Thanks again.
- I'm not entirely sure what "air soft" is. If it can be used as a training aid worth looking into.
They're a blast!Airsoft, or softair as some call it, has the advantage of predominately being replica guns. Practice will be similar to any other firearm your peewee will use in the future, aside from loading CO2. Cheaper models will use batteries or require you to manually pull back the slide for spring operation. CO2 guns also have slight blowback, if that interests you. Plastic BB's also hurt a lot less than steel and can be bought biodegradable (still takes years).
One disadvantage is also their reason for prominence, airsoft guns are used to play "tag". That may not be good for teaching safety, but honestly the lesson would have more influence than the device. Failure of the lesson would also have less damaging effects, so that's a plus.
I probably wouldn't get my kids softair guns until about 12, but I'd also expect them to shoot eachother.
Used to be airsoft was steel BBs and lead pellets, and softair was plastic BB's.
I'm tempted to get one of these, and it's likely your girl could get a good grip on one.
Just bought one since it was such a good deal!

I own one of these and I wouldn't recommend one for a small child. there are finger pinch points that will really hurt, which would really spoil her shooting experience, either go with a CO2 powered pistol or with a real 22 pistol, if you have easy access to a place to shoot. The CO2 pistols may have large capacity magazines and are quiet enough that they won't upset your neighbors when fired in your back yard. My 2 penny's worth!
Good point, I'd say skip the CO2 and get a gas pistol though. They can use readily available propane to fill their little tanks (usually in the magazine) and a small tank used for a camp stove lasts a good while compared to having to always have those little co2 thingies.I own one of these and I wouldn't recommend one for a small child. there are finger pinch points that will really hurt, which would really spoil her shooting experience, either go with a CO2 powered pistol or with a real 22 pistol, if you have easy access to a place to shoot.

Here are a few. They also make rifles that take gas.

I'm a bargain hunter, what can I say!
So did you come to a conclusion on which way you will go?My daughter (age 7) has a Daisy Red Ryder which she likes very much. I was thinking of introducing her to pistol shooting as well. Shooting with said would only be done under the supervision of me, my wife, or both of us.
I know next to nothing about contemporary air guns. (Other than the aforementioned Daisy, the only other air gun we have is an el cheapo Chinese .22 single shot rifle I used in eastern Oregon to dispatch vermin, and haven't shot in many years.)
Anyway, any recommendations, etc., would be welcome. Thanks.
