Just drive the pin out at the bottom of the grip

At the bottom rear of the grip there is a pin. Drive it out with a pin punch and the grip will slide off, somewhat like the Hogue Monogrip on a revolver (if you're familiar with those). They fit somewhat tightly so it may take a little effort.

The hole will be at the very end of and on the bottom of the grip. Where I have it gripped.

Drive the pin at the rear bottom of the grip out. then pull the grip down and to the rear. The mainspring is seated in the grip so it will come out of its socket as you pull the grip downward.

Eventually the grip will not move any further. This is because there are little tabs on the inside of the grip that help to hold the grip in place in the frame cutouts. Just GENTLY spread the front edge of the grip a bit to help the tabs slide over the frame as you continue to pull the grip to the rear and downward.
