Anyone any Ideas,
                         I got a new set of Houge grips for me Taurus today. So decided to fit them. The instructions say remove the Taurus grip locator pin as it is not required with the Houge's. The pin is Knurled on one side and smooth on the other and should remove from right to left. However it is completely stuck and wont budge at all. I tried a punch and hammer but the thing wont move. Its as if the hole was deformed slightly when they fit the wrist brace. Any Ideas or should I try and force it out in a vice?

Chris

I've had to remove one before - and the answer is to get a bigger hammer!
