I've been trying to change the grip on my new FNX 9 but pushing a pin into the hole on the grip does not release it. Has anybody accomplished this feat? Is there a trick to it?

FNX 9 Grip change.

I brought home my fnx40 yesterday and first thing I did was change the grips.
DO NOT jam something in there and push as hard as you can, I messed up the latch that holds it in.
You need to push in and slightly upwards towards the slide and while you have the latch depressed you need to slide it off. I would look at YouTube or pictures to familiarize yourself with how the latch works and it should make sense.
I changed it but I damaged the latch and now the grips just slide off. I semi fixed it with some tephlon tape but I'll probably add a drop of super glue for good measure. Great shooter though.

The owner's manual says insert a 1/16" punch (but the back end of a 1/16" drill bit will work) and, using light pressure, slide the grip down while maintaining the pressure.
You may have been trying too hard and NOT pushing downward as you lightly pushed in...
