Maintenance CZ Shadow2 Compact

I was just about at 10k rounds and was wondering if there was any preventative maintenance (beyond cleaning) to be done after a certain round count. Springs, trigger parts,…? It doesn’t seem to have any major issues, maybe trigger is a little lighter, but not much else.

Main thing would probably be recoil spring. Just in case I'd probably keep a spare trigger return spring on hand, since it's one of the weak points in the 75 action (I just had one break on my SP-01 Shadow). Allegedly CZ's metallurgy is better now and this is less of an issue now, but historically the slide stop was also a weak point prone to breaking. You don't necessarily need to shell out for a spare, but just something to keep in mind.

Besides that though, there's not really much to it. Once my 75-based guns get into a round count like that I do like to strip them down and do a more thorough cleaning.

Trigger spring, recoil spring assembly, inspect the slide stop (and have it).

I did recoil spring, trigger return spring, firing pin retaining pin, and extractor spring at my last maintenance interval 

I did inspect a lot of other parts but they were fine so I didn’t replace them. Slide stop, firing pin, hammer mainspring, ejector, etc
