The other issue is the trigger. The Redhawk has a single main spring for both the hammer and the trigger return. This makes the DA pull rather smooth as you work against only one spring. Unfortunately, it also causes a heavy SA trigger because you aren't just working against a trigger return spring and the friction of the sear interface. Instead you are working against the entire compressed force of the main spring (hammer spring), compressing it just a little farther to disengage the sears. So the RH is good for DA, but not so good for SA work.
I've had my Redhawk since Father's Day of 1982 (thank you, dear wife) and what WrongHanded reported is exactly the same as what I've experienced with the trigger pulls on my revolver. Unfortunately, the trigger pulls (heavy on the sa; light on the da) is the reverse of how I would want it as I shoot sa on my Redhawk 99.99 percent of the time. But the da pull is pretty sweet, not withstanding...
