So after 14 years of use, carry, and I don't even know how many rounds, I've got my PX4 Storm Subcompact torn down for a deep cleaning.  Yeah, it was pretty gross and grimy in there.  It's G model and if I rode the decocker up I could get it to stick halfway so that what brought on the deep cleaning.
Should I replace some other springs while I got the guts out?  I'm gonna throw in a new safety spring and safety roll pin.  I got a new hammer spring from Langdon for Christmas so that's good there.    Which other ones should I be looking at; extractor springs, trigger spring, trigger bar spring?
I love that little gun

This must be a CA thing.  Throwing away part of the gun just cause you've got it part?  If it aint broke, fix it till it is?

I say none.  Clean it up.  If its still working right, there's no reason to replace springs just cause you're bored.

Maybe, but I don't ever want to discover the gun I'm carrying is broke.
Springs wear out and I don't mind preventive maintenance.
