Gdawgs - I'm not certain, but I think there is at least one .410 out there with a sectioned butt-pad/recoil absorber that can be increased as the shooter grows older. At any rate, recommend you make sure the .410 takes 3" shells, so you can start with 2 1/2" and work up. The .28 may be the best all-round gauge ever invented relative to efficiency, but unless you're rich, good luck finding an affordable shotgun for a young shooter who will outgrow a proper-fitting stock in a hurry.
Plan B: find a decent used .410 single-shot that is dirt-cheap. Have the stock cut down to your son's current LOP. When he grows a bit, add a slip-on recoil absorber that adds an inch or so to the LOP ($20). After that, he might well be ready and anxious to move to a 20 gauge.
