Quoted:but the Glock's LCI would be useful in the dark.
Just slide your trigger finger over it and feel for it, in the dark It is a clean and simple system which makes me wonder if any other manufacturers use it rather than a separate part like S&W, Springfield etc. It's nearly identical to the one in my Kahr PM40. Albeit, the Kah'r extractor is a bit larger. Anyone know if Glock's LCI is patented? Almost all major manufacturers have their LCI patented. I don't see one listed under Gaston Glock or Value Privatstiftung, however. |

HK common uses a slight tilt to the extractor, often with a red paint on the top, to indicate a loaded chamber. If you're fumbling in the dark under stress and relying on that, good luck. But it's handy at times.
I THINK that it's basically the same thing as Glock's setup, but there may be subtle differences. I've never paid any attention to the Glock version. |

Beretta doesn't advertise it, but you can use the 92's extractor as a LCI. I doubt it's patented.

This type of indicator has been in use since at least the early 1900s. The P-08 Luger has an extractor with the word "geladen" (loaded) on the side of it which is exposed when the chamber is loaded.

Here's a neat fact- the new .22LR Glock, the Glock 44, has a view port on the barrel hood that allows the user to see if there is a round in the chamber. That said, it can be a little difficult to perform that visual check in low light conditions.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Interestingly, the extractor based LCI used on most centerfire Glock pistols is not sufficient for the Mass. attorney general's consumer safety requirements. https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/massachusetts-ag-hands-fine-gun-dealer-new-gun-law/ |
