I agree with Barkslayer. I 'fixed' several J frames to the satisfaction of their women owner/shooters.

First thing is to remove all the internal parts if you know how to work on these, with a book in front of you to show where to polish and where not too! The SS guns have more of a problem with roughness new off the shelf. Trigger rebound block, both sides of cylinder stop, contact points on trigger, hammer and DA sear but not the single action cocking notch!

Then get a spring kit and start with the lowest pressure springs 1st, both hammer amd trigger rebound springs. Test for misfires and increase to next stronger springs if needed. Or take to gunsmith and tell him that's what you want done.

Stay away from the light frames, obviously they kick way too much but secondly the springs are STRONGER because of misfire problems with the lack of resistance due to the lesser frame weight!
