I picked up two 642s over the last couple years, gave one to my dad. Local gun shop had a sale. With the rebate, I think both were under $300/ea. They had heavy pulls, as expected. I simply went to a slightly weaker spring, cleaned them up, and did a little polishing with a dremel tool They smoothed right up. The thing about S&W revolvers, the more you work them the smoother they get. As mentioned, you don't want a spring that's too light and definitely get one from a known manufacturer: Wilson combat, etc. You can buy a Wilson Combat spring kit for a J frame for around $10, which has different weights to try.
