IMO, the 28 is more for an experienced shot than a new one, though absolutes are rare in Shotgunland.

I suggest hanging out at clays ranges and asking polite questions. A well spoken novice will get lots of advice and some shotguns to try.

A 28 gauge Remington 1100 is perhaps the BEST gun to start new shooters (assuming it fits)

The performance is WAY better than a 410, the weight and gas action are wonderful for keeping recoil low

The 28 ga is also excellent at teaching people to reload as it gets expensive to shoot if you don't.
