Soo.. issue: Fires on action release

[K.Wilhelm]

I have had this happen on two different Lugers. Both times swapping to a spare sear bar corrected the issue. Too bad on one of them because it had a beautiful trigger pull before correction, and a terrible one after! Better to be safe, though. WB

Interesting, I have to wonder if the nice trigger pull was due to the sear just barely engaging the firing pin tang, and then with a tiny bit more wear it failed to engage at all.

That you've had two do this makes me want to inspect my shooters to make sure nothing is about to wear away - I do not wish to experience a full auto Luger.

Yes,
that would be the primary reason; or gunk keeping the sear bar from returning to its rest position.

Baring a failure, a light trigger pull is a sign of limited sear engagement; so a good area to keep an eye on- but I would not expect significant wear in "normal" shooting. After all the sear surfaces are hardened, it is when someone gets busy with a file or stone and removes the hard surface that problems start. One will frequently see a used sear bar with the catch area rebuilt.
