What you get with the Crickett My First Shotgun Pump Black
Crickett made My First Shotgun for new hunters. The recoil-reducing chamber and soft recoil pad keep a .410 comfortable for a youth shooter, and the 12 inch length of pull fits a smaller frame.
This is the pump action version with a 3+1 capacity. It accepts standard Beretta style chokes and weighs about 4.6 pounds.
Why a .410 for a first shotgun
The .410 bore is the smallest common shotgun size, so recoil is light. It’s a good fit for squirrels, rabbits and clay targets at short range. There’s a short history in the .410 bore article on Wikipedia, and your state wildlife agency sets the rules for what you can hunt with it.

First hunts with a .410
Start on clay targets thrown slowly and close. Once the new shooter is breaking a few, move to small game at short range. A .410 rewards getting close and picking a clear shot.
Is the Crickett My First Shotgun Pump Black right for you?
We see the Crickett My First Shotgun Pump Black go to:
- Families who want one .410 for several kids
- A young hunter’s first squirrel or rabbit season
- Small framed adults who want light recoil
Teach the basic safety rules before the first range trip. The NSSF safety guides are a good place to start.
Setup and care tips
Wipe it down after a wet hunt, run a bore snake through the barrel and keep it stored unloaded. If you use choke tubes, put a little grease on the threads so they don’t seize.
Single shot or pump: which My First Shotgun?
The single shot My First Shotgun is the lightest and cheapest of the group at about 4.2 pounds, and it folds for storage. The pump versions hold more shells (3+1 or 5+1), so a hunter gets a quick second shot, and they take screw-in chokes. If the shooter is brand new, the single shot keeps things simple. If they’ve already handled a .22 safely, the pump gives them room to grow.
All four share the 18.5 inch barrel, 3 inch chamber and compact stock. The pump is offered in black, Turkish walnut and Muddy Girl camo.
