To add my $0.02 to Jim's post, I personally can't see spending money to get something fixed that isn't broken--after all, guns cost enough money in the first place. FWIW, my rule is to keep my guns as "factory" as possible. If something goes wrong, I let the factory take care of it, figuring that the factory knows--or at any rate ought to know--more about the gun than anybody else.
I think that the right time for a gunsmith is when the factory can't help. This usually involves a gun older than the factory will repair any more, a definite custom need, or a problem that the factory can't solve.
JMHO.
