Revolver smithing

The DA pull on my SW 686 is really heavy. I've been searching online (Miculek comes up alot) for the process to lighten the pull but there is some confusion in my mind on this.

Making the pull lighter (not smoother) seems to result in light strikes. I'm not sure how changing that main spring causes lighter strikes, but apparently it does. So I'm wondering if anyone here can help 'splain this to me and/or tell me if I can lower the DA pull weight and not deal with FTFs.

Mr Higgins are you open?
