Doc, The D/A pull on a S&W revolver can usually be lightened a bit and still fire all ammo. A lot of us lighten them too much to fire all ammo, we hand load and use Federal primers which are softer or more sensitive. If you carry the gun it would be best not to lighten it , just have it smoothed up. I have 2 or 3 that prolly won't fire reliably with anything but Fed. primers, they are range guns. Primers have to be seated all the way to be reliable if you do hand load. I have bought 2 or 3 new S&W guns that had extremely heavy main springs, no way to do accurate D/A shooting with them. OK for self defense. I have installed a couple Wolff standard springs that lightened the pull some what or at least it feels lighter. Some of the older S&W guns have great triggers without having to do an action job on them.
My 2 cents worth................................................................
