My Redhawk is in the serial number range that has the hammer link hook pointing downward. The current Instruction Manual directs you to reverse the hook when reassembling so that it points upward for "improved performance". So what is the "improved performance"? Been shooting the gun for 25 years with the hammer link hook pointing down using the directions in the manual that came with the gun.
