start out with one or more of the many SXS I have. Have a few Parkers that might fit the bill.

Perhaps the decision should be his. Have him shoot both types of guns and an auto loader and see which he likes better. The first question should be; How big is your grandson. This is going to make quite a difference. We have a program here in Illinois run by the DNR that holds introductory classes on wing shooting and they use 28ga. autoloaders with youth stocks. They have a height and weight requirement for youth shooters that has proven to be very beneficial.
I have had a number of parents/grandparents contact me concerning what gun to get for a new youth shooter. I usually try and meet with them and bring a few guns for the child to try.
What ever you do not over gun him.
If you would like more info PM me.
