That makes sense .

What exactly is wrong with a LCI or a striker indicator?

Quote:
if LCI is up, the striker must be cocked
Unless you just had a misfire, hangfire, or a hard primer.

Quote:
Really, it's just a useless "safety feature" that they can point to in a magazine ad to sell guns...kinda like the grip safety.
Man I can see why you recommend them so much.

Quote:
they all do, however, increase the complexity of the gun, even if it is marginally.
They're passive devices. The LCI is a little tab that gets risen automatically. The striker indicator is just a little piece that fits behind the striker. What about either is going to cause a problem? If that's added complexity than so is the trigger safety. I get it, you like Glocks. Congrats. Not everything has to be a Glock.
