The most common chip, called the "Million Dollar Chip", occurs in the small peninsula of wood that tucks up behind the bottom exposed end of the safety lever--where it pivots. Hurried or careless removal of this grip will snap that little piece off just about every time. One must first raise the grip only enough to clear the grip frame at the bottom, then rotate it slightly clockwise as it is pulled away from the frame. The bottoms of both grips take a beating during use, and it is not uncommon to observe chips, lots of wear, or other damage there as well--but it can be left and/or right,and front and/or back. The million dollar jobbie only occurs in one place, as described.
