I always "Tune" my own revolvers. You know the polishing of the moving parts and all. Although I can't say I like the reduced springs, so i don't use them.
On my last S&W K-frame after the trigger work I "rounded" the trigger where my finger rests inside the guard. The bottom and the sides.
The trigger is normally squared off.
What a difference in feel it made was enourmous to me. It felt much nicer to shoot.
If you have an old beatter gun to try it out, I'd give the trigger a rounding off on the sides and at the bottom and see what you think.
Just FYI among friends.
 
Good move for DA shooters, 4th.

It's funny. When S&W (and most everyone else) started making revolvers, all the triggers were smooth.
Then single action, precise (bullseye) shooting came popular, and S&W (and most everyone else) started putting verticle grooves in the triggers, to keep fingers from slipping and to enhance trigger 'feel'. And triggers got wider, too.

Then double action shooters had to do hand-work to 'slick' the triggers for better double action control. So now the factory does it again... ain't the circle interesting.

It only took about 70 years or so for S&W to grasp the concept of the 'three inch" K-frame and no hammer spur.
 
When I played with my M29 about thirty years ago there were three triggers; thin grooved, wide[or target]grooved and smooth combat. The smooth works well for every use !
