Another One II and a Question

Police model experts,

I took my Frankenluger that Dwight tried to identify shooting again today (Monday). The gun worked perfectly (maybe) for another 50 rounds of Wallymart ammo. I had drifted the front sight over so zero is now almost perfect.

Now the question. Two or three times on follow up shots (not the first one in a string) the gun wouldn't fire until I released the trigger and squeezed it again. Is there something odd about these guns (with the sear safety) requiring conscious release of the trigger after firing before another shot can be fired? I can't recall ever having this occur when firing any other semi-automatic including Colts, Rugers, S&Ws, 2 other Lugers, P-38, AR-15, Mini-14, M-1 Carbine, M-1, etc. perhaps 100,000 rounds over the last 50 years.

The trigger on Frankenluger is pretty light. Maybe the return spring just isn't heavy enough to nudge the finger back during recoil. Anybody have any ideas???
