12 Year Old
When my oldest Daughter was 12 years old I taught her to shoot a handgun using an Interarms M43 Firestar. It is a steel framed compact 9mm based on the 1911 design. Being steel framed it wasn't bad on recoil and she learned to shoot it exceptionally well with factory loaded ammo.
Decent factory sights and controls.
I am not sure of the availability of these any longer but I have a Grandson who I hope to
find on of these for when it comes time to teach him about Shooting a Handgun.
