Did you do anything to loosen up any possible dried out lubricant? Some oils get like varnish over a period of time. Lots of older guns suffer from this.

At the very least get some carb or brake cleaner. Remove grips. Spray every opening of the gun while operating it. Both ends of the ejector rod etc. Lug under barrel. Try a Small drop of light oil on each end of the center pin inside of the ejector rod. A tiny drop on the little pop out lug under the barrel. The spot you see in the center of recoil shield when cylinder is open and a drop along side the thumb piece. Work the parts and then wipe gun down with a dry rag.

Make very sure there is no debri under the ejector star. Just a bit of carbon there can cause some binding/
