Here's my grouse gun. Keltec P17 w a GSL Pillbox Suppressor. Weighs 1lb w 16 in the mag and 1 in the hole. I carry it on my pack hip belt in a Muddy River Tactical kydex holster.

I’ve only ever shot grouse flying with a shotgun or with judo points and my stickbow. I think shooting them off the ground with a .22 pistol would be a hoot…are you guys shooting them in the head? Body?

Hollow points or solids?

I may take one up to Alaska this fall just for camp meat.

I’m not a good enough shot to hit them in the head, so it’s usually a body shot. I shoot Winchester subsonic hollow points, big, wide meplat and kills very quickly.

I shoot them in the body with solids. Can't shoot hollow points out of the Pillbox suppressor.
