I preferred my old 7-1/2 lb pull. One of the gunsmith's at USSA took mine apart to see what he could do for the trigger and said that the SR-9 must be built for reliability and government contracts. Said the guts were build like a tank and would never wear out which was the reason he could not lighten the trigger. The firing pin, etc. was so massive they would never break or wear out but that mass required pull to operate and prevented lightening the trigger. I guess it was one of those trade off things for reliability. Maybe if they release the compacts they'll come with something closer to the 5-7 lb pull range again (and maybe it will be interchangeable with the full size model parts----YEAH--- 
)
That is consistent with Ruger's past handgun building mantra. It has it's pro's and con's---incidently, that why would can load the blackhawks in .45 LC beyond even the power of the .44 mag.
I'm not a target shooter in the first place, so a slightly heavy trigger pull in a heated engagement is not going to be that big of a deal. Who honestly remembers pulling the trigger while deer-hunting? My 760 has a terrible trigger, but I shoot deer every year with it...

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
