Any suggestions on a good place to find parts would be greatly appreciated.

Is the tip still nicely rounded?
I would imagine your gun is completely gunked up. Some oils that we use for gun cleaning are for short term use only. Long periods of time tend to dry them out, turning them from oil into a sticky varnish type material.
Your center pin can become stuck as well, just like your cylinder release. How is your DA pull? Heavy as hell perhaps? I think your gun needs a good cleaning. This will involve the side plate being removed (don't pry it, gentle tapping only), and the disassembly of your cylinder.
Watch this video and see if that doesn't sound familiar.
