Default Sear slipping off trigger

Hey guys, hoping to get some insight to my issue. Picked up a 3 inch 13-3 recently. Gun shoots awesome but notice something at the range. I was taking a long double action shot and staged the trigger. Decided not to shoot and started to slowly let the trigger out. About half way back the trigger clicked and the hammer dropped. It didn't fire as the hammer block was in the way and didn't let the firing pin through, however it seemed weird.

Opened it up and the sear seems to sit further back than my other k frames (2 model 19-3s). Checked it with the side plate off and sure enough the sear slips but the hammer block does its job. Ordered a new sear just in case, but the gun looked and felt like it had barely been shot. Other than looking like it sits further back the sear itself looked the same as my other k frames.

Is this common? I wasn't able to find much on it with a search. Will replacing the sear most likely fix this?
