Hi,
My GP has had a VERY tight trigger group since it was new, and it's still helpful to have a plastic mallet and a bit of dowel rod handy when I'm ready to remove and reinstall it. The dowel rod can be used to tap the trigger guard from the "inside" for removal. It can also be used to concentrate the force at the end of the trigger housing if a friendly "tap" on the guard itself doesn't seat the group. A small bit of oil or grease where the group contacts the frame can help, too.
A friend bought a new GP last year. The trigger group in hers acts just like the one in my RH: snug, but smooth enough to get out and back in w/o tools or "getting ugly" w/ it. To me that seems "perfect."
Now I know those are GPs, not SPs, but I'd expect similar "variations" w/ the smaller guns, too.
