I also do not have a chamber loaded indicator.hole in the barrel to see the brass.
The original TSW's lacked the accessory rail, loaded chamber inspection port and the machining needed to accept the optional spring-loaded, decock-only assembly.

The manual safety and slide stop lever were simply plain finish, not nickel. Those parts are still available in plain finish (versus black) when ordering parts. I've ordered slide stops and spring-loaded, decock assemblies in both finishes. S&W got caught up in the 2-tone/contrast finish thing some time back.
