No problems in my case. With these Nill grips I pull the screws and just bump the trigger guard with a soft hammer or screwdriver handle 'till one side lifts up. Just like how you'd pop a sideplate off a revolver. I don't have any experience with the Hogue wood so can't really speak to how troublesome , or not, they might be.

Cheers
Bill
