I hear you. I bought one of the first model SP 101s in 22 LR and the out-of-the-box trigger was heavy with a bit of clunk as the cylinder went 'round. Clark Custom Guns and Gemini Customs are a couple of the high profile SP 101 gunsmiths and sure that their work is excellent, though I personally have no experience with either. Some day, maybe. There are probably good smiths close to you, too; the SP 101 is a pretty common revolver.

What I did: ran a few hundred rounds through the factory setup. Used light oil during this break in, RemOil is good. Then I picked up the Wolff spring pack with 9, 10 and 12 lb springs along with a lighter trigger return spring. The 10 lb mainspring with the factory return spring is the best for me. The 9 lb main spring gave some light strikes and the light return spring made trigger reset too sluggish for rapid fire. It is very nice to shoot now, I love it.

Midway USA has the spring pack. They have .22 snaps caps too, which I would use for dry fire.
