So as long as it's a reasonably heavy gun. Mine was (is) very light. And you can buy a varity of .410 ammo, so maybe some really light stuff such as Eley.

Yep. That's the thing with youth models or cut down shotguns. Your are taking away the weight and that leads to more felt recoil. Make it too heavy and a kid can't control it comfortably. Take off the weight and you get them with the recoil.
I don't like the cut down barrels either. No matter how much you drill it into them, kids have issues with muzzle control and it's too easy for a 20' barrell to get turned around in a duck blind if everyone isn't paying attention.
