Just an observation. The gold "bumpy" thing on the thumb side of the frame near the rear top is the safety.

The long skinny flat piece (straw colored) on the finger side is the ejector. The ejector will very slightly curve inward at the front. When the action is open and you look inside, you'll see a flat-top right angle triangle, with the flat portion forward, on the right side of the slide. That's the actual part that ejects the case as it's extracted from the chamber. The extended part of it is actually a flat spring.

BTW, you did a better job of describing your pistol than many men could who have years of experience with guns.
