Of course, I was still able to shoot it as well as my Staccato C on several drills shooting at realistic speed, so I probably ought to just stick with what I've got and let use smooth it out.

    The kit I installed had that reduced power main spring (15#), trigger return spring, FPB spring and firing pin spring. I also installed their extended firing pin and their roll pin.
    Cool. The full Prograde kit includes an improved roller, and that does make a difference in the DA pull. I recommend putting half an earplug under the hammer and doing several 100 dry fires. I bet your gun will improve noticeably as it breaks in.

    It’s worth trying the 13lb hammer spring as well.

    S&B did not want to pop. Will try the 13#. Or just stick with Blazer. They're still 100%.

    When I first got into the P07 & P09 I ran only the 18# (yellow) spring and have never had an issue. Currently in my P09 though I am running the 15# (gold) hammer spring and still have not had any issues. I did have two rounds not fire last time though with my P09 and they were both Freedom 115gr reman. I have not ran that ammo in a long time, so not sure if that ammo is known to have issues.

    New CZ P-07 = Mind Blown

    After reading this thread in it’s entirety I decided to purchase a P-07. I ordered the Pro Kit from CGW’s as well as a few extra recoil springs, 4 firing pin retaining pins, & an extra decocking lever assembly. I’m on CGW’s notification list for when a takedown lever becomes available.
    I had my local gunsmith disassemble the 07 & measure the roller bearing before ordering the Pro Kit. CGW’s advised me which size roller bearing would be most appropriate via email. Upon completion the trigger pull is equal to a pair of LTT 92’s from Mr. Langdon’s shop & better then a Sig 220 & 245 that Mr. Langdon worked on many years ago. I’m a happy camper.
    I’m wondering because of the recent tentative anomaly with CZ (reference Colt) management if I should try & obtain any other extra parts? Thanks for any advice.

    Glad the P-07 is working out so well for you. Your spare parts kit has most of the items I would have suggested. The springs in the 07/09 last a really long time, and I doubt parts availability will be a problem no matter what happens at CZ-USA. I'm not sure how many P-07s are in use worldwide, but it's a large number. I think it's likely that CZ will keep manufacturing them in Czech as always.

    That said, I would have the following on hand:

    CGW trigger return springs
    Decocker springs (this little fucker is the one part of the design that I don't love. It takes practice, and possibly a special tool to install, and I've heard of people ruining them in the process).
    Mainspring housing (plastic sleeve)
    Trigger pin

    If your gun will have a high round count (20k+), buy an extra extractor, extractor spring, trigger bar spring, firing pin, and fp spring.

    P07/P09 parts are a little hard to get, so I get on the notification list at CGW, CZ Custom and CZ webstore and buy them when I get a hit. Thanks for the parts list, Clusterfrack. I had not considered having some extra decocker springs, but will grab some. They are interesting to get re-installed for sure. I have taken a little small flathead screwdriver and slightly bent the shaft and cut a notch in the middle of the blade. Really helps guide that little leg back under the decocker.

    Good idea. It sounds like your solution and mine are similar.

    I just used a small torx driver to push the spring into place and it worked great for me.
