NDD,
What I did, with Air.177 and his younger brother and sister, over several years each, basically led up to where you want to be.
I started them on small Pocket Pistols (Beretta 21, or Colt single action revolvers, shooting CB caps (Aguila or Winchester ) that use nothing more than the primer for propulsion. The round will not even cycle the semi-auto weapons. After they had mastered the "small guns" and somewhat understood what was happening, I would shoot something. What I shot ranged from Javelina, Deer..etc. After I was sure that it was dead, I let my kids touch them, and they realized that they were no longer alive!!!
As they have gotten older, they all still have many fond memories of "The Mountains & Deer Hunting"!!!
One thing that I need to caution you about..please do not start letting him shoot "Big Handguns" !! Kids hands are growing and if you let him shoot "large/powerful" handguns you could induce some damage!!
Blake's first pistol was a 9mm that I had Magna-Ported and then loaded up light loads for it!!
Well, I'd better crash!! Take care Brother will catchupto'ya later.
