I had a expierance this year I thought I would share to see if anybody else has run into it with the Pachmary grips. Our fist day of deer season this year was on the cold side,10 degrees. When i got settled in my stand and went to open my tc to load, it would not open no matter what i did. When I had first put the grips on I noticed that the trigger guard would hit on them when I opened it. I made two cuts in the grip to form a flap that would bend with the trigger gaurd. This seemed to work fine for several years now, but in the cold weather we had, that grip got so stiff it would not bend and allow the trigger gaurd to go back far enought. I had to light my heater and warm the grip up before I could get the gun open. After cutting that small section out of the grip I had no more trouble opening the gun.
