Hammer push off is frequently caused by negative angle on the sear/full cock notch.

Was it holding for several years then just noticed push off?  Broken sear?  Trigger return spring too light?

Sure, worked pretty much like it was supposed to.  Then, a few years ago it woudn't catch at half cock very well.  With noticing the recent problem, that problem has gone away.  I have never worked on a lock before.  When I take it to the club, I'll see if those 'amateurs' can figure it out... ;)

Really haven't noticed anything unusual with the triggers.
