I have a black rubber Pachmayr grip on my stainless Dan Wesson revolver. It's been on for 20+ years.

Yesterday I tried to remove it to put on a wooden grip for a while, and it will not budge. I did remove the screw, and I've tried spraying it with penetrating oil, it's soaking now. I've pulled, twisted, got my fingers under the top edge. If I pry much harder, it is going to tear, and I really dont want to ruin it or cut it off if I don't have to. It must be galded to the metal somehow.

Has anyone else ran into this problem? Any suggestions?
