I wouldn't know without seeing it with the sideplate off. However, it does sound like the sear isn't disengaging for some reason, or the nose of the SA sear is gone to the point the trigger is catching the DA sear. How much trigger pull does it have in SA? Does it seem that there is any spring tension to the trigger itself? The only other thing that might possibly cause the sear from not becoming disengaged somehow would be the rebound slide not clearing the hammer right. Maybe someone put a part in it that wasn't the correct one for that model, I couldn't say right off?
