Normal. Colt and Smith triggers are completely different. Colt triggers tend to stack as you pull them. Smith's are generally a smooth pull all the way thru.

As above, due to the old "vee spring" action design that locks the cylinder tightly Colt's old style action does "stack" or get heavier as it's pulled.
Once you get used to it, or if you "grew up" with it, it feels natural, and can actually be used as a shooting aid. With a little practice you can tell just when the hammer is about to drop, then use the last bit with a slower pull to give more accuracy. |

If you're accustomed to a Smith trigger you can accomplish something very simitlar to what you describe. A proper Smith trigger reached a plateau and you can hold it there and release when you want to. Much like a compound bow pull. |

It's called "Staging the trigger".
