What are you trying to get done? You might be able to do it yourself, if you are handy.
Gunsmithing isn't difficult, unless you're looking at fitting parts or conversions.

I need to have the action redone on my Smith & Wesson .40 cal CHP model... The trigger requires too much pull to fire... causing me to jerk the pistol when firing...

Hoag Gun works in Canoga Park, old timer and he does amazing work. He re-blued my rem 870 and my browning hi-power and they came out awesome. Rebuilt a trigger assembly on a friends 92F.. Trust me, if you want quality work go down there. Ill search for my invoice and get u the #, or just call Turners Outdoorsman in reseda and ask for his #, they use him also.

Hey Scott stay away from Bolsa Gunsmithing; they are expensive and have butchered both of the guns I've fired that they worked on. One was a Colt Combat Comander that had the ramp streamlined and the action worked and it stuck in condition one and wouldn't clear and the other was a Remington 11-87 police they installed a simple speed loading ramp and during the first match it spit the entire assembly out on the ground.

might want to check out mikes gunsmitthing in long beach. I know thats what all the guys at the firing line recommend. Never had personal experance over there yet, partially because they are closed by the time i get home. If you do get over there can you check if they can get an extractor for a High Standard - SPORT KING CARBINE A102 ? What parts of HB are you in?

Examine the hammer hooks, the scear hooks, and the trigger bar and linkage carefully - it probably just wants deburring.
It's amazing what you can do with a little know-how, and some carefully applied polishing... Something like a box-stock M1991A1 giving you a clean 3# trigger, perhaps? I could have gone lower, but that woud have been more work (and 3# is already considered 'light' for a carry piece - but it's what I'm used to...)
Note that this trigger was done with no parts replacement, and only clean-up and polish work...
