Gun for Newborn Son

[DRYHUMOR]

If you hunt, your son may grow into hunting as well. I've always been partial to the Winchester and Browning model 52 remakes of the 1990's.

Full size rifle, but small enough, and accurate enough for a young shooter to gain hunting rifle skills.

For a pistol, the Beretta 87 is pretty sweet. However, the magazines would be kinda hard on yound hands to load up. It's a well built pistol, that seems to keep going up in price all the time.

Before you get carried away and do all the engraving you might consider that your son may not like firearms. I have 2 sons. The youngest is a true gun nut but the oldest could care less about a gun. Buy the gun and put it away. Don't embellish it until you know it will be appreciated.

Local FFL holder already has his grandson a Ruger 10/22 with his name ingraved on it. He also has a bolt action .410 waiting for him. I think his grandson is only two years old.

Here is something else I had not considered: my son might be a leftie!

According to my mother, I was born a leftie, but my father "corrected" me to be rightie.

It is hard to tell just yet, but my son seems to prefer using his left foot and left hand to reach for objects even at 6 weeks of age (I would like it if he were a southpaw from MMA perspective, but it does complicate things a bit for shooting).

Is it not the case that, in general, lefties are also left eye-dominant?

Perhaps a nice single action handgun might be a safer pick after all.
