I have a multi part question about replacing the spring set in my pair of EAA Bounty Hunters revolvers in .45 L.C. The end result that I am looking for is a reduced trigger pull and eliminating a very slight creep in the trigger. Firstly I understand that the EAA Bounty Hunters use the same spring sets as the Colt SAA's. Is that correct? Secondly, there are at least two types of spring sets available. One uses a wire type sear spring and the other uses a stamped flat steel spring. The prices are just about identical, but is one preferable over the other? Once I have selected the spring sets, who is/are the best choice(s) for a gunsmith to install them? I really do not want to do this myself. I have worked on many guns over the last fifty years, but never on a SAA or a clone and I want the two to have as similar a trigger pull and action as possible. I would appreciate any sugestions.

Replacement springs will reduce Trigger Pull somewhat.  Reducing creep requires someone knowledgeable about re-cutting the trigger sear bevel and release angle.  Springs will not fix creep.  If your going to have a "trigger job" done, you might just as well have a complete action job and spring replacement. 
I'd suggest you inquire of "Long Hunter Shooting Supply."  Jim Finch is as good as anyone and better than most for what you want to have done.  He doesn't gouge on prices either.
I don't work by mail so I can't suggest me.  Jim Finch is a straight up as they come.
