Hello,
I'm attempting to put a Hogue rubber monogrip on my Ruger GP100. Has anyone had trouble getting the grip alignment post out of the GP100 grip? This is the approx. 1/4" diameter post that sits horizontally in the bottom of the grip. Mine will not move for love or money. I've put Hogues on my Redhawks, Blackhawks, 1911s, etc. But this is the only grip frame that has me stumped. Obviously the problem is the Ruger and not the Hogue. I've tried tapping and rapping with my trusty non-marring casting mallet (a hammer handle), but no go. I've tried whacking from both sides on the assumption that it's wider on one end to wedge it in the grip frame firmly. I figured I'd check for experience here before I manhandled it and ruin the revolver.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Todd
