I will post my usual warning about not trying to remove the grips unless you know how. A whole lot of those guns have been damaged by folks trying to pry off the grips. The housing pin has to be either removed or pushed in flush on one side, the grip slid down and off, then the same done on the other side.

There has been a lot of comment about Pedersen's reasons for the unusual action, but the real reason is that Browning had patented a slide and breechblock in one piece and also the idea of attaching grips to an auto pistol with screws. Hence the delayed blowback action and the odd grip attachment of the Remington (and Savage and S&W as well).
