Colt Govt.380 jammed up solidly: any suggestions?

Test-fired my new Govt.380. Had to hand-cycle the first magazine as none of the rounds would eject properly. Tried another magazine with different ammo (tried UMC first, then Blazer) and, after several shots, the gun froze up in half-recoil. We were able to get the empty casing to move back and forth but the slide won't budge. The hammer can be thumb-cocked all the way and dropped with the trigger. Betty thinks the ejector is broken.

Any other guesses as to the causes?
Any suggestions for getting the gun un-jammed?
Any advice on getting it fixed? How would I replace the ejector, if that's what it is?

PS: I now carry a backup all the time.
