If your trigger mechanism is rough and uneven, S&W wil smooth (or replace) it. They will NOT remove any springs or lighten the trigger.
Unless yours is defective, there is little that can be done, (except polishing the sear block) that will not compromise it for use in self defense.
CAUTION: Unless you want a range queen, don't remove any springs. DO NOT replace the striker spring as this frequently causes misfires.
Polishing the sear block involves detail stripping the sear block, and there is a trick to getting all the springs back in. If you lose or break any parts in it, S&W WILL NOT sell you new parts, and the gun will have to go back to the factory for a new sear assembly.
My adivce is to clean the plastic parts of the gun with CRC silicone spray and shoot it. The sllight residue of silicone powder is all the plastic parts need, and they will wear smoother.
I have used SIgmas for loaners and trainers for over a decade, and have tried all the reversible "improvements" I have seen.
I recently sold a polished and slick worn-in SIgma to a new IDPA shooter for a very good price, because he was struggling to shoot a very cheap (brand X) that was unreliable. He shot 3 matches with ZERO problems with the Sigma, won a ribbon for the first time ever, and classified SSP/MM. So obviously
, he now had to "improve" the gun. You guessed it, he made a mess, and is mad because I won't fix it for him for free.
