Default 327 Revolver Smith Needed

I recently purchased a 327PC and am looking to do a few things to it. I would like to convert it to DAO and lighten/smooth out the trigger a bit. I contacted S&W and they informed me that they would not perform a DAO hammer conversion or bob the hammer. So now I’m looking for a revolver smith in the Central Florida area.

I purchased a DAO hammer kit from Apex that includes 2 types of rebound springs and a longer firing pin. They say it ‘might’ require some fitting so I am assuming it will. Can anyone recommend someone near my area that would be able to perform this work? Or do you think I could accomplish this myself? From what I’ve researched the fitting should only require some polishing but I’d be lying if I said I’ve ever removed a side plate myself.

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

If you've never removed a sideplate don't start with this project. The firing pin can be frustrating for a newbie and any smith would prefeer not to get a bag-o-gun.
