IMHO, THE MOST CRITICAL ISSUE ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE PERSON DOING THE WORK ! ! ! THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUBBA AND HIS DREMEL TOOL, AND A GUY LIKE DENNIS REICHARD, OF SAND BURR GUN RANCH. HE DOES ALL OF MASSAD AYOOBS WORK---AND LIKE MAS, HE IS A MULTI CHAMPIONSHIP PISTOLERO. MAS REFERS TO HIM AS "THE BEST GUNSMITH, CURRENTLY WORKING ON S&W REVOLVERS"......
BASED ON THAT ENDORSEMENT, DENNY HAS BEEN GETTING ALL OF MY WORK.....

Regarding springs and DA pull weight, I think over the years the DA pull has got heavier due to the endurance package modifications done in the Post 1990 era guns, 19-6, 19-7, 27-4, 27-5, 29-4, 29-5, and 25-9 Models etc. They put a heavier mainspring in, mostly for reliable ignition, and possibly because of liability. Those are my guesses. Post script, you are hurting my ears.
