Luke, from what you have described, the lack of the sear spring may introduce a danger in that the sear engagement may not be as safe (deep) as when the spring is used...

One other potential danger is that the firing pin may follow the breechblock in the closed position causing an unintentional discharge...or perhaps even multiple discharges if the magazine isn't empty...

As dangerous as I have made it sound, I consider these events generally unlikely, but certainly possible.

Just my $0.02 based on years of study of the Luger engineering...
