Hate? I'm not aware of any hate for a passive, benign LCI... but as most will tell you, they are of little value to an experienced,
civilian handgunner. If you use the golden rule that "all guns are always loaded all the time", and you personally follow that rule... then they are rather pointless.
There are law enforcement and military requirements where not having a round in the chamber is commonplace... in this instance, I can see where a LCI might be beneficial.
In "sigcurious" excellent photo example, that's a gun I would not consider buying solely for the "lawyer speak" printed on the slide. Pandering to the lowest common denominator may be popular these days, but guns that tell me to read the owners manual and which end is the dangerous one is just plain irritating.
