CZ - Recoil spring weights - recoil vs wear

[triplepete]

So I bought and have yet to shoot a CZ75 Shadow pre-owned and it comes with an aftermarket 11 pound recoil spring I think. Also comes with stock spring, can't recall strength.

So as I understand it, light recoil spring means less recoil kick? Are there any drawbacks to having lighter than stock spring, such as faster wear of slide and parts? Risk of FTF or slow return to battery on next round?

Would faster and stronger ejection come with lighter recoil spring too?

People that swap out the recoil spring for a #11 are usually shooting lighter reloads. I shoot factory loads so I have a #14 recoil spring. I also have a #13 mainspring for a lighter trigger pull.
