Grip Remove on Gen 3

[Pete99004]

Have a 4003 with stock grips. I would like to install set of Hogue grips to try out. Anything special I need to know before attemping to remove the stock grips, so I don't damage them or the frame. Special screws or springs that I need to know about. I don't really see anything that looks special.
Thanks for the input.

nothing special.

tap out grip pin from either side

slide the bottom of the grip away and then down from the frame.

mainspring and mainspring cup will be the only things that will fall. they will not fly out.

the mainspring insert in your hogue package will make hogue grips 10 times easier to install and take apart.

Thanks for the input - looked about that simple but...it would be my luck that there is some little tiny spring in there I couldn't see that flys all the way across the room, if I didn't ask the forum, you know?

Thanks again.

"nothing special...."

What he said, a two minute job for someone with experience.
