    Air pistol for 6 year old

    My 6 year old son is begging me for a go with my air pistol (Twinmaster). I'm keen for him to have a go but it's a bit big and unweildy for his small hands. I'm looking for a suggestion for a gun that he could use (under close supervision, of course) for target shooting.

    The perfect gun would be:
    - small
    - light
    - cheap
    - accurate
    - easy to cock and load (perhaps CO2?)
    - not a replica of a firearm

    Ideas? I had a Webley Junior when I was a boy and it ticked most of those boxes (apart from the "accurate" one IIRC) - but they seem to have become collectors' items.

    I can second this opinion, my brother has one of these pistols, incredibly accurate for the price, very nice light, crisp trigger, good sights and very light in weight. This pistol punches far above it's weight and is pretty much as accurate as pistols 4-5 times it's price and will give your own pistol a run for it's money.

    Can't really remember how much I paid for it, was aabout 2 years ago, birthday present for my brother, I bought it new, think it was about 60 or 70 quid.

    Purchased from the following shop:

    http://www.gunshop-eb.co.uk/

    Don't know if they still stock them but worth a call.

    Regards

    Wouldn't an airsoft be the ideal start for someone so young to learn gun safety and shooting technique.
    Edit these are available in unrealistic twotone colours so no licence is needed.
