Looks to me like there is not enough material on the suspect sear to reshape it --the cowboy way would be to peen it with a flat hammer to extrude a little more material toward the notch, then reshape it. The professional way would be to send it to a competent double gunsmith to tig weld it and reshape and reharden it and recut the hammer notch properly. The extravagant way would be to send it to Dewey Vicknair to make a new sear from scratch, except I dont think he is doing routine repairs anymore. Good luck with it.
