[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3169003, member: 3099"] It's not hard. Remove grips. Remove screws noting which hole they came from. Use a hard rawhide mallet, plastic, etc. to whack the grip frame. This will pop the sideplate loose. Do not pry on it. This is the proper way to remove it. Check for shims on each side of the hammer. I'm betting it's been monkey'd with too. I do agree that it could be old hardened lube gumming up the works too. Edit to add: Don't cycle it with the side plate off. That's a good way to break hammer and trigger pins. [/QUOTE]
