Should I buy the heavy red spring to fix this?

Either increase the recoil spring or lighten the strike spring. It's a balancing act.

Shootna couple boxes of 124grn thru it, and/or keepnthe slide locked open when storing for the next few months. Has worked like a charm for me. Zero issues. And 10,000 plus rounds thru multiple guns. They are ultra reliable!

Clean and lube, then leave slide open and locked for a couple weeks .

OP, you might want to look into this - Striker spring.  When I replaced mine with a lighter glock striker spring, I found out the Canik factory spring is extremely 'heavy', 2x more than a glock standard striker spring.
But before you go there, perhaps a bit more info on what ammo and how new/old your pistol is.

What is keeping it out of battery? My recent Rival had such a small throat that factory ammo or .355 reloads would not chamber.

+1 on leave the slide locked open for a few weeks

Another thought, look at your grip as it’s failing to return to battery.
I got a TTI Combat recently and shot it with several friends. Some had repeated failures to return to battery, others it ran fine for. I had a couple failures to return to battery while doing timed drills from concealment, but ran fine doing slower aimed stuff.

After some observation, I noticed if my thumbs rested too heavily on the slide due to poor grip that I could induce the failure to return to battery.
Adjusting grip solved it for me.
Tried that with my friends who couldn’t get three rounds without a failure… and the gun suddenly ran like a top.

Look at where your thumbs rest while gripping, you may be inducing the failure there.
I used to do the same with other pistols by riding the slide lock and keeping autos from ever locking back on empty… wasn’t the gun, but was entirely me.
