Go to a local hardware store and get some allen or torx head set screws in the same thread as your factory screw (I think I did either 3/8" long or 1/2" long, 8-32 thread, maybe 3/8" for K/L frame and 1/2" for N Frames??). When I switched to a lighter main spring to reduce the trigger pull, the factory strain screw wasn't long enough to get the correct arc on the new main spring and be reliable. The trigger felt strange at the end of the pull, like the hammer was releasing early or something? With the longer set screw, you can tighten it more and get the correct bend to the main spring for more reliable ignition and then lock tite it in place. This will let you run lighter springs, but still have enough to pop the primers. It worked great on my 617 .22lr revolver. It made the revolver trigger pull much lighter, without the strange pull feeling the lighter springs alone gave. You can also lighten up the rebound spring of the trigger, too, but if you are shooting DA quickly, your finger may outrun the spring and the trigger won't reset all the way forward.
On newer Smiths, dry firing a lot and letting the parts polish themselves in works wonders, too.
