As noted, the action is smooth, it just takes a lot more lbs of pressure to pull the trigger to start the firing sequence. Can a gunsmith adjust this to lower the pounds of pressure to pull the trigger? How done? Any other thoughts? Thank you for your time!!

Nice pick up. As far a lightening the trigger pull. You can replace the main spring from the stock 8/2 lb to an 8 lb spring. Also a lighter rebound spring will ease the heavy trigger pull.
You do need to be certain of full trigger return when you lighten the rebound spring. A lighter main spring MAY cause misfires, so be CERTAIN to test the gun with several brands of ammo after spring changes.
So folks will tell you to shoot the gun as is, and learn to accept the heavy pull. This is especially true if this gun will be used as CCW, I personally prefer the spring changes.
Just my 2 cents, worth what you paid for it.Good luck.
