One does get used to crappy triggers. Just don't own a better gun at the same time else the living room carpet might receive something unexpected when you use it. Ask me how I know.

To answer your question, have you considered a used Webley over-lever? An old Tempest maybe? Reasonable trigger. Or a used BSA Scorpion with a crisp 1½ pounds-force trigger.
