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

Always make sure your kids use hearing protection, even with a .22 rimfire.

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 have a Mark 1. 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.

then a single action , bear cat with the adjustable sights .https://ruger.com/products/newBearcat/specSheets/0916.html

6 is a bit young for any handgun hands are very small, with kids and semi or double action revolvers I always start them with one round when they are doing well and have solid trigger discipline and grip is good , then 2 several times then load up.

single loading an auto is as simple as one round in each mag , but I understand not wanting to start a new youth shooter on a semi-auto

I like to start kids on a rifle until they have excellent muzzle control , because muzzle control with a short barrel of a pistol is more advanced level muzzle control.

I have and recommend the heritage rough rider. It's simple to use has a safety and takes a beating. I've had mine for two years and take it on every trap check and I have killed rabbits with it while running traps
