Sad to say, it’s definitely broken. Next sadist problem is that you’ll have to source a used hammer and have it fitted to the frame. If you feel up to a wee drive swing by Boots and Buckshot in Cartersville Georgia. I’ll give you a better idea on what’s what internally, and what it will take...
What gunsmith work do you want done. North of Atlanta there are several reputable good licensed gunsmiths who specialize in different things.

Treat “gunsmith” as a loose term ranging from someone who went to school, finished an apprenticeship, and has years of experience... to guy with YouTube a dremel and ability to get an FFL with zero experience.

Super stoked for you sir. Apex Grade M&P barrels are the top of the heap with aftermarket barrels. Great meeting you!

DO NOT HOT BLUE THAT!
It will cause the barrels to break loose, And ruin your gun. It needs either plum blue or Belgian Blued.
Hot chemical blueing will make the solder of the rib and barrels release leaving you with a pile of parts.
