I am looking for a good 12 ga. shotgun for my 9 year old son for skeet/trap shooting. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I agree with the comments that oneounceload has made.

Assuming the young man can hold a 12 ga, a semi auto or over/under will serve him well with 7/8 oz loads.

Either get a youth model or get a second stock and have it fitted for your son. With a second stock, eventually you can return the full size stock to the gun when he out grows the cut down stock.

I am partial to over/unders, but that is me.

A number of years ago, I lucked into a cut down stock for one of my Citoris. It fit my daughter well so that she could use the shotgun. I still have the full size stock if I want to use the gun. But, I never get a chance, the short stock fits my 5'-2" wife like a glove as well.
