[pancakes]

Has there been any actual reliability issues with any of the LCIs on any gun?

Yes!

Not that I ever read about and if there were, you would need data of the LCI version vs non LCI on the same gun, same ammo, same round count etc. One offs with questionable maintenance, use case etc doesn't mean all LCI will get you killed.

These LCI discussions about failure or not trusting my life crack me up. There are guys carrying HEAVILY modified guns with everything from custom 2 lb triggers, custom springs, barrels, comps, aftermarket slides, internals, etc. that have more potential to fail than any LCI. (In my humble opinion).

In a SHTF or CCW scenario, I will take a stock Glock (with or without an LCI) over nearly every other mfg.

NO THANK YOU!!! I will absolutely never take any risks on my life with any (top california compliant LCI locations) (EXTRA FAILURE POINT GARBAGE LCI) Always stick to the standard and never trust the california compliant models. I have seen plenty of failures . NO THANK YOU!!!

Glock 43X CA (California Compliant) model, the specialized California Department of Justice (DOJ) required Loaded Chamber Indicator (LCI) is located on the top of the slide,
Unlike standard, factory Glock models where the extractor claw acts as a subtle visual/tactile indicator, the CA-compliant model features a prominent, mechanical indicator on top of the slide to meet strict state-mandated safety visibility guidelines
obtrusive indicator.
• The Problem: This top-mounted, spring-loaded arm physically pushes down on the rim of the chambered casing. Heavy carbon fouling, debris, or a stiff factory LCI spring creating excessive friction. This drag slows down the slide's cycling speed or prevents a fresh round from fully sliding up under the extractor claw, causing failures to battery (the slide not closing all the way).

Crazy how your AI “knows” the exact design of the gun that hasn’t been publicly released or announced in any way

That’s why I like my HK and Walther. Really great triggers out of the box and I don’t need to mod anything really. Just runs. The irony that the LCI is an issue and not the aftermarket barrel and slide and springs is funny lol
