You could order a set of replacement springs for it and install them yourself. I ordered a set from either Midway or Brownell's, I don't rememeber which. They are made by Wilson's and you get two different hammer return springs and three mainsprings. All are different weights and lower than the originals. It take about 10 minutes to put in a new set the first time, after that it is faster. It made an incredible difference on my SRH. Much easier to shoot double action. And better in single also. One note: Mine would not fire reliably with the lowest power mainspring. Not enough oomph. Switched to the mid powered one and it functions great. I shoot much better now. It made a great gun even better. Keep in mind, any custom work on a Ruger voids the warranty.

Shipping a handgun out for work nowadays costs $20 - $30 each way before any work is done. You can get a lot of the benefit just by changing the SRH trigger rebound spring. Order from Wolff gunsprings or Brownells. They sell kits with various spring weights for trigger and mainspring.

Changing the mainspring also helps DA pull a lot but SA pull not so much - I had some misfires using the lightest mainspring option with SA. Most hunting handguns will never be fired DA - I suggest leaving the mainspring alone or using the heaviest replacement option.

It is easy to change the trigger spring - just disassemble per the Ruger owners manual. Once you remove the trigger group assembly you need to patially depress the rear plunger and push out the small pin that holds the plunger in place. [Careful not to let the plunger and spring fly out when you remove the pin.] The same spring tensions the trigger and the plunger. Put in the new spring, compress the plunger again, reinstall the pin. That alone should give you a big improvement in SA pull weight.

On my SRH the cutout in the grip frame was not centered perfectly so the plunger could not go all the way back. This kept the rebound spring partially compressed and preloaded the trigger weight more. I used a diamond round file to open up the cutout, once the plunger sat back all the way it lowered the SA pull an extra 3/4 lb. Here is a hint: when you reassemble the gun, after installing trigger group but before installing grips, flip the gun upside down and use a brass punch to strike a sharp blow on the rear of the trigger group tang. This pushes the plunger off the side of the hole in the grip frame and allows it to push back farther. Not only does it lighten the spring preload but it also locks up the assembly tighter to the grip frame.

If you order spring kit from Brownells also get the endshake bushing - this is a very thin washer that goes at the front of the cylinder and tightens up any slop. I think you remove another pin at the front of the crane/yoke to get the cylinder off but don't remember.

Try Magna-Port I think they do trigger work as well as porting.
