is it really just my shifters?

ive been having trouble with shifting gears. i fiddled with my rear derailleur for bout an hour and my gears are faaaaiiiirrrlllyyy smooth/er, i cant get the fine tuning down, but with my front derailleur i have to almost hold my shifter forcfully past high as im going hard in my smallest rear cog in order to get to my biggest front cog....people are telling me its just my crappy shifters (shimano revoshift gripshifters that came with my bike) is that it or does my front derailleur just need adjustment and ppl just be hatin on the grip shifters? ive been looking at the price of shifters and man theyre not cheap...
edit: more than half of my shifter space is used for my smallest front cog, the few ticks left on the shifter go to the middle cog, and like 1 or 2 ticks left (including h) go into trying to get into biggest cog....
ill post pics after work if what i said is too much garble...
