On the other hand, I love the Wolff reduced power coil mainspring in my J frame : )

Did You also replace the re-bound spring with a 12, 13, or 14 lb spring?
Sometimes changing (only) the rebound spring to a, per se, 13 lb unit and leaving the hammer spring as standard, lightens the action considerably.
FWIW: Usually, professional gunsmiths leave the factory springs intact, and choose to lighten the action by stoning, smoothing, and applying special procedures.
