No one seems to know the real purpose of it but usually it is said to assist with ejecting the shell when the magazine is empty.

With it missing it usually causes no problems except sometimes the last round of a magazine will not be ejected properly. Or at least is my understanding.
Yeah, thanks. I know the part. Another fellow and I tried our pistols without it and they mostly worked. Seems that they were slightly less reliable. Perhaps it was on that last shot that they failed to extract.
