This problem just started a little while ago, I'm not quite sure what's causing it.

This problem's mentioned a few times here already. Enough times to add it to the troubleshooting FAQ on the first page now.
I've used your question as the basis.
If you're using an adjustable trigger stirrup, then back off the adjustment a bit.
If you're not using adjustable stirrup, then you just need to file a small ramp behind the sear to allow the trigger disconnect lever to slip behind the sear. Your first trigger press jiggles the lever in to place, which is why nothing happens, but on the second press, it functions.

It doesn't improve consistency. Just durability. If your tip is getting mashed up (that sounds so weird...), then upgrading to a steel knocker would be a smart idea.
