Not sure if you mean a switch barrel or a combo gun like the Savage 24F. If you mean a combo gun then I wouldn't get one for grouse. Carrying around extra weight that you can't use. Also, some states do not allow you to carry rifle rounds when you are bird hunting with a shotgun.
I prefer (actually, need) a shotgun with multi-round capability for grouse. However, with a light single shot shotgun like an NEF you know that one shot has to count.
Sorry, no experience with the switch barrels. I'd be interested in finding out how the ones with pistol grips work for the quick handling shots required with grouse.

its areal good thing to have for game that you have a chance to spot on the ground like a rabbit or a squirrel because u can use the 22 to shoot it sitting so u dont mess up the meat and the shotgun if it runs. Grouse not so much cause u only have a split second to shoot it on the ground if u wish before it flushes. and its only a single shot, so when u miss the first time u only get one shot at it.
