Light hammer strikes is the usual problem. Check your carry ammo and your practice ammo to make sure there is ignition. Ammo like Blazer steel case has hard primers and will just dent the primer if too light. Federal has very light primers and almost any strike will ignite them. Previous suggestion of getting the absolute correct screw driver, and a little tap with a plastic mallet should break the screws grip. If this was a used handgun it is possible the DPO has secured the screws really good... If you do get the screws loose, use the plastic mallet and smack the grip area on the right side to pop the plate up. Good luck!
