Richard I was in Berchtesgaden germany for 4 1/2 years. :)
To affirm Chris's statement of not normally removing the
right grip, I called the factory to ask some question about
the removal process. Maria passed the ball to Karl and he
responded, "Why does he want to remove the grip?" I said
that I didn't and thank you very much for confirming what
I thought about the wisdom of grip removal for cleaning
purposes.
