"Quote; 'Send it to a GOOD gunsmith and have the trigger lightened and smoothed and you are good to go. ( this may be necessary even if it is brand new, my J-frame Smith was 15lbs out of the box and that is too hard) ".
============
Stop! Don't do this suggestion. IT WILL GET SOMEone HURT or DEAD. There is a purpose for wheel guns to have stiff trigger pulls. Adrenalin will over-come any factory stiffness when time calls and any smith modifies a weapon without you signing a declaimer is dumber than a post, should be reported to the ATF for changing oem specs.
A taser would work real well in a close situation like the one mentioned, I keep one in the door of my Jeep for real close situations.
x2, a taser, or pepper spray. a gun is a rather strong knee jerk reaction unless they plan to take training classes, "fully" understand the consequences and understands what self defense is.
