[M]y worry is that the weaker spring will degrade with time and fail to fire the primer in the future.

All springs will degrade with time and eventually fail. That's why part of pistol maintenance is the periodic replacement of springs. To my knowledge, CZ has not published a detailed maintenance schedule, but SIG Sauer has, which can be used as a surrogate. There's nothing preventing you from changing your springs at a more frequent interval if that makes you comfy.

To compensate for the lighter hammer strikes their upgrades produce, doesn't CGW provide an extended firing pin? Presumably, the extension isn't long enough to defeat the firing pin block.

how do I post pictures?
I have pictures and invoices from CGW showing dlc on a p-01
And pictures of the front sight falling out.
Someone please instruct me on sending pictures.
David was the one who told me dlc could be applied on a p-01 frame even though the website says it doesn't.
Daniel was my inside contact guy (good guy).
The gunsmith was an intern I learned after reading his bio. I don't want to call him out by name

Look at “Important Information” under “Welcome to CZ Forums” on the home page

I recently installed the Pro Package on my P-09. Slow going for me, but dang if it hasn't been worth every penny I spent. Simply fantastic to shoot.

Sounds like you want to post photos of your problem pistol and have a "trial by Oprah" here on CZF before you talk to CGW. That's not going to happen because it's the improper way to do business and that's not the way friends treat friends.

Instead, you call and email photos to CGW showing them what went wrong, AND THEN give them time to fix it. You'll only need to mail back the slide, so it's going to be fast and easy.

Although your issue is VERY unfortunate and we highly sympathize, these things happen to the best of gunsmiths. React like an adult and give them time to rectify the issue. You'll find that when you treat people correctly, they will respond in kind.

CZF will not host, nor will we be a party in any way to a spiteful smear campaign of a respected vendor that's severed our CZ Community for a decade. All that will come of something like that is that your post AND membership will be immediately and permanently erased. That's simply a statement of fact, my friend.

Please do the right thing.
