Mr. 16 gauge,
I agree; I will suggest a .38 Special so they can shoot wadcutters for practice and 125 grain JHP for serious stuff.
The folks were going to get a .380 semi-auto and a box of metal cased loads. I am sure they could not have popped a skunk or other varmit in their front yard with a .380, even if they hit it! Many novices have a verticle learning curve with a handgun which they will determine in the first range session with a .22 revolver. I am glad they have a 20 gauge for now.
