Another factor with Redhawks is how well the hammer pin fits on a given example. If you've got a lot of slop there, forget getting an 'icicle' SA pull.

I've had better luck with blue Redhawks than stainless ones, for some reason. But generally I will reduce the SA notch on the hammer until creep disappears and touch up the surfaces just enough to remove any resulting burrs. A trigger stop can be accomplished by drilling through the assembly plunger port in the trigger guard, tapping that hole and using opposing set screws. I will only do that to a blue gun.

I get along just fine with factory springs and the as-offered DA pull. The Redhawk is an excellent design.
