Replace Matching Parts Before Shooting?

Greetings,

New here and looked through shooting forums, but was unable to find anything. Wanted one of these since I first shot one at 8 years old. I finally got one at Show of Shows last weekend at age 29. All matching byf 42 black bakelite rig, year correct black holster, 2 matching bakelite mags. One of the reasons I love these, is the mechanisms, I like to shoot. However, i realize this is a collector piece. My question is three part:
1. What parts commonly break or become damaged with use, that i can swap out with reproduction/spare parts so that when firing I dont risk breaking matching parts.
2. Could i please have some exact links of what to buy, especially spring wise?
3. I have heard it said that parts are pretty gun specific, and that adding non matching small parts can damage your gun, is this true? Is replacing small parts worth it?
