Tony;
Because you are actually a shooter I would recommend following up Marc's advice and getting a replacement spring for it. That is a key part of the gun and if that lever falls completly open (down) when a round is fired, the only thing stopping the reciever as it goes into battery is the little lip on your trigger plate. It is not meant for that and won't take the abuse.
It will be MUCH easier and cheaper to put a new spring in than to try and find/replace your trigger plate.
