So, I'm guessing part #39 - disassembly latch?

It would also help to know if this part is impacted by the slide when the gun is fired.

Yes sir I'll take it out of the box and see if i find any impact marks on the latch,been a while since I broke it I don't remember,thanks for the parts break down,I have the orignal manual that came with it but It's so small I can't read it any more I'll get back with that info thanks much stoner,,,I think my cousin won the state championship pistol shooter down there last year John Horsley no him???
