Pellet pistol for grouse

[JMHNL]

Any recommendations for a decent pellet pistol for grouse while deer/elk hunting? Might as well fill the pack up in the way back to camp, but doing it relatively quietly would be best. Thanks!

I bought my wife the pump carbine pistol 1300KT and tricked it out. The thing is deadly on ground squirrels out to about ~20 yards. They are mostly made in USA.

I'm sure there are better, but this is what she uses.

cool, I'll take a look at these, price is right, and pump is attractive! Thanks

I've killed a few with sticks! Looking for a bit more killing efficiency though

I'm curious how that works for you? I tried with marbles and they just bounce off if you hit them in the breast. Head/neck is a pretty small target with a slingshot - pretty easy with an inexpensive CO2 pistol though. Coupled with a mini-rds I've filled the pot once or twice

Another option is "quiet" 22LR loads (subsonic).

Thanks jebel! I didn't know about that CCI quiet .22 rimfire ammo. I have no
grouse that need killing but it looks really good for shooting around in the back
yard and places where you don't want people complaining.

Suppressed Ruger packlite is what you're looking for.
