Hello everyone.
I searched THR and the web and could find the specific info that I was looking for. I apologize if I've overlooked it.
As you can see from my sig line, I own 4 S&W revolvers. Two older, two nearly new. None of them (not even the 1959 K-22 M17-0) have that wonderful, velvety smooth pre-war S&W DA trigger pull. The K-22 and Model 14 have what I would call "decent" actions, and the J-Frame 642 is "acceptable". The 642 would be better (it is smooth), except it has a lot of creep. My 686 DA pull is fairly gritty with an inconsistent release and lumpy return. Not good.
Note that I detail strip and clean/lube my revolvers every 6 months to a year.
Basically, I am looking for the best all around value in an action job. I'd really prefer to keep it under $200 per gun, as a I have four to do currently. And I am not merely looking for a lightened pull. I am looking for a slick, linear, creep-free DA pull with a clean, crisp letoff and a firm, smooth, positive return. While maintaining or perhaps improving upon reliability. No light strikes. Again, the benchmark would be pre-war S&Ws.
If there are gunsmiths that fit the above in Eastern NC, that would be all the merrier.
