CZ also makes a pistol the size of the P01 in .40, which is my choice caliber for carry.
For carry use, I would prefer that CZ made their alloy framed 9mm pistols (P01, PCR) with a safety instead of a decocker. Alas, they do not. I've carried both the steel and the alloy models, and while the weight difference was noticable I don't feel the weight difference to be a deal-maker. Instead, I would favor the one that fit me best and had the manual-of-arms that I prefer.

I agree - and for any use. The CZ decocker is complex, unnecessary, and makes it harder to work on the gun. I would get a P01 or PCR for sure if they had the manual safety. BUT, CZ is really not that interested in US consumer demand, so we cannot get a P01/PCR with a manual safety.
You don't HAVE to replace the springs - you just should do it because it's better for the firearm. Springs do fatigue in use, and should be refreshed every so often based upon the number of compression/extension cycles they've been through.I've never had to replace a single CZ spring. The only time I replaced a spring was the recoil spring in my EAA Witness40 clone, after 10,000 rounds, just because. Maybe I am just really lucky with my CZs, but at 5 and counting, something seems to be working pretty well...

I freely admit that I pulled that out of my a$$ rather than calculated it in any repeatable fashion.
