If the OEM spring tension is in tact, the reason for the push off is that either the bevel on the trigger, or the SA cocking notch in the foot of the hammer has been compromised.....either by wear and tear, or modification.
The single action pull weight is dependent on both the proper angle and sharpness of the trigger bevel, and the integrity of the SA notch of the hammer. OEM spring tension exerted by the rebound slide spring and the mainspring serve to hold the bevel in the notch at the proper tension until the trigger is acted upon by the user/shooter.
If the bevel or notch (or both) becomes worn, or the proper spring tension is not maintained, the bevel can slip off (out of) of the hammer notch with nominal pressure on the hammer spur.
