Well, MB, they just don't make them like they used to... my model 19-3 is the sweetest trigger I have ever felt.
I have a few suggestions for you to try, other than the "PMTJ" consisting of a lot of dry firing.
If you're comfortable with it, you can pop the side plate and remove the mainspring from the frame using a paper clip (see Kunhausen and photo #1).
You'll notice that S&W decided to use a stamped, flat spring guide. Because of this, the spring guide is rough on one side where it connects to the hammer. (see photo #2).
On the advice from some kind soul in the S&W Smithing forum, I decided to clean this piece up with a dremel and some stone work. (see end result, photo #3)
Trigger feels 100% better... Still no M19, but better.
Photo #1 - stamped mainspring guide still installed in 642 with sideplate removed.
Photo #2 - Stock condition of socket end of stamped mainspring guide.
Photo #3 - modified condition of socket end of stamped mainspring guide.
Hope this helps explain things a bit and good luck!
