Have you done the poor man’s Ruger revolver trigger job? It’s a 2-hooked U-shaped spring. Free one of the legs - much lighter trigger pull but longer lock time.
The trigger return spring has NOTHING to do with the lock time. It cannot and does not have anything to do with the speed the hammer falls.

If you want to comment on the speed the Ruger Blackhawk's hammer falls, saying its slower, please tell us slower than what?? Slower than it used to be before the poor man's trigger job? If so, I'd be looking for something other than the trigger return spring as the cause.

Slower than a Colt SAA? Slower than a S&W?? Maybe, but my senses aren't calibrated to measure milliseconds well, so its not something I really notice.

The time it takes the hammer to fall in any design is determined by the size & weight (mass) of the hammer, the distance it has to travel through its rotational arc, and the power of the spring pushing it.
