i recently purchased a Mod 605 new style 2-605029 and want to change factory supplied rubber grips.
They look like they are secured by a roll pin but dont want to damage the grips getting it our or them off. What are instructions for removing new style grips?

DrJohns, I just got off of the the phone with Taurus with a question about my new PT 1911. While I was talking with them I asked about my wife's new M85 .38 Special. I had the same question about the grip on hers that you are asking. The rep said yes, just use a drift punch to push the roll pin through to remove the grip. Hope this helps!

Thanks! I just picked up a new Taurus 85, went right to the range, and we had a group poll on this. One of the guys had it correct. The manual still says it's a screw though. Kind of a pita. Wonder why it's not just a screw.

The front office paper pushers don't always keep pace with the engineering nerds, I mean staff. They'll get caught up eventually.
