S&W 586 Trigger work... help!

[Mygrainman]

I helped my dad get into a sweet little 586 that he absolutely loves... but here's the problem..
When we first got it, it had Wolff redux weight springs in it that gave it an amazingly light double action pull, but it was horribly unreliable. We had the stock springs put back in and that took care of the reliability issue, but Dad is late 70's and has Parkinson's, so the factory double action is a little heavy for him... Obviously a good trigger job done right by a good Smith is the solution, but I want to make sure I find him the best work for the best $...
What kind of reduction can he get and who do y'all recommend to do it?
I believe it's a dash 8... the latest version of the 586.
Thanks in advance!

@Velzey but I heard he is really busy. You can reach out to Jon at northwest custom firearms as well he did the trigger job on the Savage 30-06 that I sold @Joe13

Were you getting a lot of light strikes with the Wolff kit?

Velzey is the man.

Spring kits have their place - personally, I think it is in the garbage. And there is more to a good tuning than just fixing the spring tension.

Wouldn't have put them in personally...
I got it with them already installed.
I've actually had really good luck with spring kits on the AR platform... KAW Valley specifically, but it's a real easy swap if they become troublesome... a bit more involved with a wheel gun.

You've got that right. Good Luck and try to find a good Pistolsmith. Someone has already messed with it and he/she is going to have to fix what was done wrong.

Spring kits are great with worn out springs like on my Romanian Tokarev. It needed a new set as the previous set were extremely dubious. I have a Wolff set in it.

Personally watching the thread with interest.

Bring it on in, I do trigger jobs on smith revolvers all the time. I have my personal 586 in the shop right now that I did a trigger job on that you can play with.
