For kids a tiger bearcat would be good. Small enough they can get a good grip.

I don't like Ruger single six for kids. It takes too long for them to "make it safe". Too much muzzle wander going on while they fumble with the cylinder and ejecting each round one at a time. I am basing this on first hand experience while conducting firearms training for youths. I would suggest a double action revolver with a swing out cylinder, or an H&R like Paul has (if you can find one). I have a Heritage Rough Rider and it works fine for what I use it for... But I will NEVER own another revolver that doesn't have a swing-out cylinder or a breakover feature. Safety aside, loading/unloading through a loading gate while turning the cylinder and manipulating the ejector rod is the most tedious waste of time ever. Mike

Adjustable sight bearcat. Another great Ruger option (these slipped my mind in my earlier post). Ruger has made a run of these with adjustable sights for Lipsey's (a distributor). Guess you could call this model a Ruger 22 revolver "kit gun".

If young children will be using it a S&W 317 lt wt is the way to go. Pricey but I love mine and only weighs 11 oz. x2 Either the S&W 317 or an older K22. Both are very nice with really good triggers.

Take a good look at the Cimmeron "Plinkerton", very well made and low cost.

yes I know it isn't a revolver
Ruger MKIII or MKIV 22/45 with 5 mags that way you can load the whole box of 50 an go shoot.
the irons sights are good there are almost as many parts for them as the 10/22.
they will run all day on most 40gr ammo CCI SV and CCI blazer work great
the MKIV is even easier to break down for cleaning , want to shoot 100 yards ad an optic pre drilled and tapped and they will do it too , shooting 10 inch steel plates at 100 yards is a blast.
on the MKIII using a MKII hammer bushing to replace the magazine disconnect gets rid of that stupid thing and makes the trigger better for about 8 dollars. once that is out the mags drop free. it appears on the MKIV you need to put a MKII hammer and bushing in but not very expensive.
I suppose the down side is the ammo can go kinda quick because you don't waste time reloading every 6 rounds

I don't know how well the kids, especially the 6 year old, would handle the working of the action----the slamming of the bolt. Plus, I don't want another bullet being fed into the chamber right away. And I don't want to try to use that gun single shot---too much trouble trying to load it as a single shot. When they get proficient they can shoot the Mark 1 I have. I have quite a few thousand rounds for it and 5 mags. Some day that will be fun for them. My daughter likes shooting the Mark 1. I load up all the mags and she burns through the ammo.
