Which gunsmith for a bullseye trigger job?

[6string]

Regarding its use for bullseye, there are 3 types of fire, slow fire, timed fire and rapid fire. The slow fire would obviously be SA only. The timed fire you have 20 seconds to fire 5 shots so it could feasibly be done with SA as well. Rapid fire on the other hand is 5 shots in 10 seconds and would definitely be DA.

Old School Bullseye revolver shooters practiced their SA by dry firing A LOT! A good revolver shooter can cock and fire all 5 shots within the RF 10 seconds. In dry fire, the gun will barely move.
You can't buy points. Practice!

Watch Bill MacMillan show you how it's done.

I guess I'm some confused by this desire for a super action on a .357 that I'm assuming is going to be eating .38 Specials----and I'm surprised nobody else has expressed some curiosity about the same thing--------or are you going to be doing your own .38 Special loads in Magnum cases?

Been shooting bullseye with a revolver on and off about 40 years now. It is all done single action, and the stock SA trigger typical of a k frame is more than ip to the task. No need to mess with it at all.

For what it's worth, a local gunsmith got the DA on my M&P R8 down to 7 lbs & the only primers that go bang 100% of the time are Federal 100's.

I just won an auction for a LNIB 19-3 6" made in 1969. I shoot bullseye and would like to use the revolver occasionally to shoot the centerfire match.

I have a bullseye friend that said he used to have a 19 that he did a trigger job on using Jerry Miculek videos as a reference. He said he was able to get the DA pull down to about 4 pounds, that would be great.

Who do you guys recommend for such a job?

Just a suggestion... consider shooting it as is before having any work done. You might be very pleased with it after firing it enough to become accustomed to the trigger and everything else. A trigger job may or may not help, but it's never a replacement for good technique and shooter skill.
