I looked at one of the reviews on the gun.
That thing you mentioned is the cylinder release!
The gun has stainless cylinder and barrel. The upper frame is aluminum alloy.
The lower grip frame is steel and polymer.

Hmmm, I wonder why they decided to put it up there, when just about everyone else has in on the side?
Ambidiestros cylinder release.
I had one of those. The cylinder release was OK.
Its a whole different smith. The frame has a button on the back that is spring loaded. It has no hand like other smiths.
My problem is the frame is aluminum and the cylinder got pushed back into the aluminum creating more endshake until it misfired. This took not too many rounds. I sent it back and had it rebuilt. After the second time, I traded it for a 637.
This is the recoil plate shield. You can see where the cylinder was driven into the aluminum. Very little support.
