Hard to say for certain, unless I have it in front of me to inspect the firing mechanism.

Generally, this is caused by the sear hanging on the leaf spring, or the leaf spring prong being too weak. If the latter, increasing the prong strength on the sear will help with this. If the former, then check for gaps between the frame and grip, OR if the sear prong is catching on a lip of the sear, then file the lip smooth. Check action with the grip safety removed.
