I started with a Daisy BB gun at 7yrs, went up to a Benjamin single pump pellet gun at 8yrs, got a .22/.410 O/U to carry while my family went Pheasant hunting at 9yrs, started to shoot a Wallther PPK .22 at 10 yrs. At 11yrs started to use a MkII for competition and swithched over to a .45 at 13. I was lucky to get a lot of formal training for the following 2 years and Mom & Dad were both nationally ranked shooters so any troubles I had with the .45 (flinching & milking) were addressed right away. I would echo what others have said about delaying introduction to the larger calibers.
