My Redhawk goes bang every time I pull the trigger.
It gets fed a diet of reloads with Win LP primers or CCI Magnums.
As was stated above, the majority of misfires in these revolvers relate to a lower weight spring being installed to provide a better trigger pull.
Ultimately this leads to less energy imparted to the hammer and "may" lead to light strikes.
One way to help avoid this is to remove things that rob the hammer of energy during it's fall. The easiest way is through the addition of hammer shims. They keep the hammer centered in the frame channel and prevent scrubbing off energy when the hammer rubs the frame.
IMHO futzing around with the spring in the Redhawk is asking for problems. I would prefer to have lots of extra energy to impart to the firing pin than be on the hairy edge of not quite enough. A good polishing of the action and all of the places where there is moving metal to metal contact is one great way to get a much nicer trigger pull without changing the spring out. Throw in a set of trigger shims as well and you can get an exceptionally nice trigger pull where you don't notice the slightly heavier weight, without giving up reliability.
