If you are going to buy a pump 12 ga., I don't think it is going to be much more forgiving on the recoil, but I don't know if a youth gun is made in 12 ga. I think Remington makes some youth autos in 20 ga. and I know that Beretta makes a youth auto in 20 ga. The Beretta is in the $600 range, but you should look around at picking one up used and/or other brands. As he grows older, you can buy a new stock for the gun and he can continue to use it. I have a Beretta 391 youth gun in 20 ga. that I let my sisters use and they love it.
