Hi Brad and welcome. Trigger pull weight averages ~7lbs. Most other single shot shotguns are around 10lbs or slightly more. Cheers and stay safe!

Hi Brad, the trigger pull weight is approx 7 lbs.
I will add this, since it for a 10 yr old, with a plastic butt plate and very low weight, these shotguns recoil a lot more than they look like they should. You may need to add a recoil pad to the butt stock.
Stay safe & have a great day!

a hammer type single shot would have the lightest trigger pull however he may have a issue with pulling back the hammer. I would not advise this gun for a kid it will kick him silly I really recommend a 20 ga youth semi auto and just give him 1 shell at a time until he is older/responsible enough to handle the 2nd shots here is a good choice budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/128784/escort+ps+youth+20ga+semi-auto+22+black+synthetic+shotgun
