Do you remember what kind of glue you used?
Try using MEK (methyl Ethyl Ketone) to remove it
Detail disassemble the pistol and make sure not to get this stuff ANYWHERE near your grips, if they are lacquerred at all, MEK will knock it off the grips in seconds.
Also, MEK will strip ALL lubrication from anything it touches, so be sure to immediately oil all the surfaces that the MEK contacts.
If this doesn't work, try dipping the stripped frame in boiling water for a few seconds. Heat will often break the bond of the glue and it will not damage your finish or the heat treat of the frame.
Hope this helps!
