CZ 75 compact paradox

It shouldn't matter as all parts wear out. However, I've not heard about fragile recoil springs on the CZ75 family of guns.

I have read of trigger return springs having a reputation for short life spans and the slide stop takes a lot of impact on the CZ guns and they don't last as long as some others.

Still, just a wear part, and replace as needed.

Never had an issue with fragile recoil springs in either my CZ-75B or P-07.

I did purchase the CZ-75B as a surplus pistol and immediately replaced the recoil spring with a new one, as I do with all used semiautomatics. I believe the new spring was from Wolff, if I recall correctly.

Some people have issues with the TRS, trigger return spring.
Also reports of slide stops breaking.
According some CZ gunsmiths, avoid dry firing a CZ in double action, heck avoid dry firing unless you have snap caps or O-rings and the issues with TRS drop.
Don't sling shot an empty slide.
CZ pistols dominate competitions for a reason, head over to the Brian Enos forum, you'll find guys with 10-20k rds per year on their CZs

I had a trigger return spring break on my first CZ 75 15yrs ago, had many more since wo issue. Recoil springs have all been good.

I have... I think I have six of them, all Italian or Turkish clones. I have yet to replace any spring or part. Two are military surplus, three are used, one I bought brand-new.

My FiL bought a brand-new CZ75 over five years ago, shoots it often (and well), and has yet to replace anything.

It's a small sample size, but the ones I've had have been sturdy.

I have a CZ-75 "pre-B" made in 1992, and I replaced the recoil spring because it was too strong. It was a bitch to rack. I replaced it with a current factory spring. Didn't affect function at all.

I have a bunch, and only one, my Mossad fullsized clone, had to have it's recoil spring replaced, and it was well used. I could feel the slide release being slammed when I first shot it, so I went and ordered some springs from Wolff. Other than that, never had an issue with any of them.

TheProf

Have had my P01 for a little over 10 years and no problems with any springs or parts breakage. I make liberal use of the snap caps CZ was kind enough to supply with the gun when dry firing.

I also have a P07 but I have only had it for a couple of years and it hasn't been used all that much.
