Ruger SR22: how to change grips

[Livefreeormass]

Just got an SR22... Love how it looks and feels in my hands. I pulled the large grip off and put the small one on, both without much effort. The small grip was too small for me. Well I tried to pull it off for 15 minutes without success. Used the YouTube method, no luck. Other online suggestions include: use jewelry screw drivers to wedge on the top edges of the grip, or a hair dyer to warm it up. Not wanting to try those, I used 2 old store cards to wedge between the grip and the gun ( from the top). Worked like a charm and no damage to either the gun or the grip.
The two grips are made of different materials: the large one of more elastic rubbery kind, and the small one more rigid plastic.

I used a hand held hair dryer,but don't use a high heat on it.
