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.
