I Got a New Toy! Need Advice, Pictures Included

I've been lusting over this gun for some time now and was going to use the winnings from the auction of my Sig to buy this. But the auction ended today with no bids, it did get relisted. But I decided it was in my best interest to take the plunge anyway. Hopefully the Sig will sell before my next credit card statement comes in. LOL!

It's a model P9LSP. This thing has the sweetest trigger on the planet. I have never in my life felt such a sweet, smooth trigger on a handgun. I wish my rifles were this smooth.

I do, however, need some advise from all of you Springfield junkies. I think I got myself in deep here. She's a sweet gun, but 1. I've never seen or heard of this make before and no one I know has either 2. Apparently they don't make parts for it anymore, either. I'm ok with that, it doesn't need any work and I don't plan to shoot it into the ground or anything. Springfield is mailing me a photocopy of the manual for it, which also frightens me just a little (yes, I called Springfield to discuss her already; they have no manuals to hand out, but they can send me a photocopy!)

What can you tell me and do aftermarket parts exist, especially springs?

This is a dumb question, but seeing as how close to a CZ she appears to look, do you think any CZ springs will fit? Above all, I don't want to mess up that trigger.

I think I got myself in deep, but I don't regret it. I plan to throw her into my IDPA match gun rotation.

Anyway, here's the gun porn:

Pretty sure it's a Witness. SA imported them awhile back as the P9. Not sure if parts are compatible with the new witnesses though. Beautiful gun regardless.

Just in case anyone was wondering...

She's a sweetheart on the range! I couldn't get the gun to NOT be accurate, she handles really well, etc. I need to do some inspections on the weapon because every so often I could feel the slide. I think it's catching on something. But I'd be shooting just fine then suddenly I'd feel the slide hit back really hard. Only during rapid fire, though.
