Am fitting Pearce grips to my new G26 Gen4. Carried 1 new mag. to the gunshop to see how different Pearce grips felt, and they moved a couple on and off seemingly without any trouble. I decided on the +2 extension, leaving the one on the mag that I bought, and taking a second home.
Attempting to install the second, I had LIVING HELL getting the baseplate off. To the point to where the interior plastic piece with the tit got turned sideways where i could do nothing but cut it off with a box cutter, then installed the new +2.
Today, I bought another +0 extension, with the frickin Glock tool. I spent 30 mins. trying to get that baseplate off. Before I just quit. By no means have weak hands! But these things seem to be one ROYAL PIA to get off. Even if you did it routinely for maintenance.
Tricks to the trade? Am I missing something.
Any suggestions helps!
