Sounds like the trigger return spring (behind the trigger) is weak. Try stretching some new life into it to make it longer and give it more push... IF that doesn't work, then a new one might be in order.

I once had a Luger that I found had the trigger return spring replaced with a short length of ball point pen spring to lighten the trigger... it too was unreliable... just like you are describing.
