What's wrong with the current way of holding the PS underlever up, mine always shuts properly and stays up

There could be one small problem regarding the magnet "spring" system, how would the trigger mechanism work? If you used a conventional metal sear and trigger setup wouldn't the parts get magnetised and not release when the trigger was pulled, in which case you'd have to make them out of some sort of non magnetic material, which would probably wear to quick (either plastic or alloy), or am I not thinking in the right box.
