This gun jams up on me a bit after a few mags so after researching the issue nd lots of advise I swapped out the extractor spring and then change the firing pin spring and then since I had the parts I changed the recoil spring. Anyway I need to put a 3-4 boxes through this and hope its well. Next I will get the mags to drop freely if I can. I already straighten the mag break but the mags still catch elsewhere.

I've done the same cleaning on my own CZ's and found that same lump of coal under the extractor. And this despite flushing it with squirts of brake cleaner. So yeah, it's certainly worth doing. Not needed at only 500 though. It takes quite a while to build up to that much. You/we can easily let it go for 2000 to 3000.
On the mags not dropping freely try analyzing the mag issue with the gun field stripped and with no grip scales. It makes it much easier to see and feel where it's binding. Also look for scratching and scuffs on the mags as a clue about where it's rubbing.

Yeah 2000 rounds would be a good time for a real good cleaning. Yeah I will have to take the grips and then decide if its something I can do or if its filing and polishing for the local smith. I think its doable by me but I will have to see.
