+1 on what OneOunce just said ....
I have a nice .410 O/U ( gross weight at 7 1/2 lbs ) - but for training the grandkids, I've been either using a 28ga O/U that's about a 7 1/2 lb gun .... and if that's too much for them to swing it smoothly ...
I go to a Benelli Super Sport semi-auto 20ga ( its a hair over 6 lbs ) so its really light / the kids like the carbon fibre look to the gun - and with light loads in it / even 3/4 oz at 1200 fps it will still cycle the action. If I drop down to a load at 1150 fps / it won't cycle the action - but we can still shoot singles. I find this gun with either 3/4 oz or 7/8 oz loads at 1200 fps is pretty soft shooting / and the kids like it.
