Crickett My First Shotgun Single Shot 410 features
My First Shotgun is Crickett’s .410 for beginning hunters. It has a special recoil-reducing chamber and a soft rubber recoil pad, so the kick stays mild for a smaller shooter.
This single shot version folds, which makes it handy in a backpack, a truck or a small closet. It has a 2 position crossbolt safety and weighs about 4.2 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.
Who the Crickett My First Shotgun Single Shot 410 is for
We see the Crickett My First Shotgun Single Shot 410 go to:
- Small framed adults who want light recoil
- Families who want one .410 for several kids
- A young hunter’s first squirrel or rabbit season
Teach the basic safety rules before the first range trip. The NSSF safety guides are a good place to start.
Care and storage
Clean the bore and chamber after each outing and put a little oil on the metal. Store the shotgun unloaded and locked, with shells kept separately.
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.
