The lever pivot pin will be loose enough to fall out once the disassembly pin is inserted behind the mainspring to disassemble. When the pin is removed, and tension is back on the spring, and with the grip panels back on, there is nothing to worry about as the pin has nowhere to go.
Be careful though, that pin has a habit of bouncing on tiled kitchen floors and heading to parts unknown where they disappear.
Only problem I ever had with my Redhawk was a hammer link that snapped after about 3 years and maybe 1,000 rounds. Ruger sent me another for free.
