Help with airsoft pistol for my little girl.

[Raden1942]

Hey guys I am looking for an airgun in airsoft to give my 6 year old to shoot cans in the backyard. She is small for a 6 year old and has real difficulty with any rifle and most pistols. I am now looking at sub compact airsoft replicas in co2 so all she has to do is pull the trigger. There are a ton of options but to me size and accuracy are the most important. Do any of you know one with a light trigger and good accuracy maybe with a hop up system? Ive never got into airsoft but a member got me thinking about using airsoft as a safer way to train her. Anyway thanks and it must be c02. Please dont chime in with one that has a light cocking effort or whatever it will just confuse me ty.

just to be clear, you are looking for airsoft, not BB or pellet, correct?

That does sound like an excellent way to start teaching them gun safety. I cannot attest to this guns accuracy, and it is a springer, but it will probably fit her hand better than most and at least gets her started having fun.

I have a really nice M&P 40 that has been amazing. It shoots best with the heavy .20 or .25g Airsoft bb's. I think it was made by KWC, so anything similar from them should be good. I think this is the same action in the Taurus. https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Taurus_PT_24_7_CO2_Airsoft_Pistol/2338

I'm more of a pellet target shooter and I got this from a neighbor in a trade. I continue to shoot the M&P because it shoots so nice and it has never had a mis-feed, it's super easy to load with a speed loader and with over 15,000 shots through it ,It has been perfect. The sights are even perfectly centered.

I've been through several pellet and BB models trying to find something that shoots as well as that damn airsoft and haven't found anything. My P17 shoots well, but no kid could ever cock one. My Crosman C11 mis-feeds more than it shoots. I plan to smash it with a hammer, because it would be cruel to give it away. My Crosman 357 (Vigilante) had broken sights out of the package, but it shoots somewhat OK, If I had sights.

I'll try to help you out here as I am also a pretty avid airsofter with a decent collection of airsoft pistols and rifles. I also have a 6 year old boy who has taken to enjoying shooting them with me. The pistol which fits his hand the best and is super easy for him to shoot is the Detoniccs .45. It's basically a mini 1911. You can check it out here: https://www.evike.com/search/?search_in_description=1&sort=3a&keywords=detonics&x=0&y=0.
