I would check either here in the Forum classifieds, or maybe ebay, or even your local gunshops, for a set of post WW II K frame diamond Magnas. Much cheaper, and they feel about the same in the hand.

Get some bronze wool and a good gun oil and clean up the exterior. Unless you have the correct gunsmithing screwdrivers, and have been inside a Smith revolver before, I would recommend you take it to a gunsmith for a good cleaning.
I shot a bunch of CLP inside of the hammer and that seemed to fix the trigger problem. It leaked out for awhile, but now the trigger is fantastic. I had a pair of old grips from a 686 and they fit great. I scubbed and oiled the gun and although it sill is really worn, it looks alot better.

I will be taking it out this weekend to see how it shoots.
