My new (to me) Service Six has a slightly heavy DA trigger. Can this be modified?

I agree with Doug.38PR
The problem is finding a GOOD gunsmith in your aria.
Im lucky, I know one here and he is a good friend, but I also know that there are a lot of GUN smiths that can destroy guns. I was in a large nation wide gun and camping equiptment store looking for some loading dies last week and saw this poor person that was buying a new Ruger 101, the guy behind the counter told him that "Rugers have nortoriously poor triggers and there gun smith would be happy to clean it up for under $100 dollars."
THere gun smith is a 22 year old kid that I have seen his work, not impressed.
The thing to do is find some one in your aria that has had some work done on guns and find a good gunsmith that way.
Trigger jobs are not that hard to do, I have done many to my black powder guns and I am very happy with them, but for a good quality gun I wont touch them.
I know my limits

Yes. I have a Ruger Speed Six. It's double action trigger pull is about 8 pounds, and I've never experienced any light hits on the cartridge primer.
Just make sure work is done by a good gunsmith. If not, then you could end up with a problem called "push off". This is when you thumb back the hammer for a single action shot, and with your finger off the trigger, you can push the hammer forward.

I'm no expert here, but why leap straight to "trigger job" when the guy asks about solving a heavy trigger? Wouldn't a lighter main spring be the first move? A trigger job can make the trigger pull smoother, take up slack, reduce overtravel, etc., but the weight of the trigger is primarily the spring.

Other than the obvious point of a heavy trigger, why do you want to change it? What purpose are you using the firearm for?
