What are your favorite guns for quality time with your kids?
For me, in terms of hours of fun, it would have to be our lowly Rossi 22 break action, which I've been shooting with my daughter for three years now. But I think these Cimarron Peacemaker Juniors in 38 special are now our favorites.
I picked them up in a trade, intending to sell or trade one and keep the other as a little sister to other single actions. When I showed them to my ten-year-old she forbade me from trading either, or else I wouldn't have one to shoot.
After a little practice, she can really make those ground targets dance (two-handed, no duelist yet). And I think I enjoy watching her more than shooting them myself. I have worked down a couple light loads that are consistent and have minimal recoil. (With factory loads and the smaller frame size, the felt recoil and muzzle flip is not insignificant.)
