How can I slick up the trigger my S&W 617?

What springs would work best. Thanks!

Little gun oil and plenty of shooting, just like any other smith

Wolff spring kits work pretty well, as well as Apex. If you don't know how to work the action over, the spring kits are a cheap and effective way to make an improvement. If you end up with the Power Rib mainspring, you may need a longer strain screw.

Springs will make the trigger pull lighter. Polishing the rebound slide and the corresponding parts of the frame will make the trigger feel smooth.

I like using a product called Dri-Slide, it's moly particles, suspended in a liquid carrier. The moly embeds itself in the metal pores, and reduces friction. Cock the hammer and put a squirt or two down the opening, and dryfire, DA a few times to distribute and work into the metal. The liquid carrier will eventually evaporate.

Adding a spring kit will do the most for lightening, while adding Dri-Slide reduces friction and smooths things out.
