There is a little tab at the rear of the trigger casing,compere it to the trigger that works,the tab might be bent.

If its an older version, the grease solidifies and makes the safety stick sometimes.

You can get a similar experience if the middle sear is a fraction too close to the top sear, hard to explain, but obvious when you see it. If this is something that has just started to happen it could be indicative of some damage.

I’d start with flushing out the old grease and re-lubing though.

If you don’t get any further forward with this I’d be happy to have a look at the unit itself, they aren’t particularly difficult triggers to work on.

Not sure if you've tried the other trigger in troublesome action. If not it maybe the action mainspring is coil bound requiring extra force to latch the rod.

Worked on lots over 30 years until on one I had managed to twist the lug a touch. Well done my head in until I sussed it out.
Reminder, must repair dents in front room wall.
