Yesterday I purchased a new Smith and Wesson model 617 .22 Revolver.

Mine is the 4" barrel with the 10 shot cylinder.

I took it to the ranger last night and so far I am really happy with the gun for accuracy. However, the trigger pull is a bit much. How much difference should I expect once the gun is "broken in"? I put maybe 200 rounds (give or take) through it before the cylinder was pretty dirty and the shells were starting to stick upon ejection.

Even though the trigger pull is heavy, it is very smooth and does that classic S&W thing where the cylinder locks into place right before the hammer drops (which I love).

Essentially, I'd like to keep the feel of the gun the same, just with less pounds required to pull the trigger.

Also, I'm thinking I'd like to put wooden target grips and a fiber optic front on it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

After shooting single and double action with this gun, my Beretta 92FS felt like it had no trigger pull in double action.
