Don't you think at the very least the magazine would have been tossed too?

A pistol in that "complete" looking condition could easily get one shot- remember the unfortunates that were shot in recent years with "toy" pistols, orange muzzle or not !

I use a trick. I depress the front end of the sear bar, that will push the spring out, hook my fingernail in the spring hook, then release the pressure on the sear bar and pull the spring forward. It gets easy if you do it a million times.
