I tried this route with my oldest daughter and personally I do not think the 28 Tristar is a gun for a youngun. You have much more versatility with a 20 gauge for loading lighter loads. The recipe I was using had an 1.5 oz load of tss. It was not a light shooter at all. The recoil was “sharp” too and when I’d shoot it to pattern it, the trigger guard always hit my middle finger mid knuckle. I thought it broke my finger one time. I had much better success loading light recoil loads in a Franchi Affinity 20 gauge for my daughter. The gas operated guns shoot even lighter than the recoil operated guns, so an 1187 in youth version would likely be a good candidate. Probably on the heavy side for an 8 year old, regardless of age comparable stature.
Thanks for replies. After much deliberation over this I’m going with 20 ga.for her.
