I have had a few pistols with loaded-chamber-indicators (LCI) that are the "lever" type where the cartridge in the chamber raises it upwards and the LCI is independant of the extractor. Not the type where the LCI is part of the extractor. An example would be a Springfield Armory XD pistol.
I was wondering if any of you guys have taken out the LCI and shot the pistol without it ? I ask because I have had some gum-up and stick while shooting causing the new cartridge coming in to not chamber correctly. I think taking the LCI out in these guns would just make them more reliable.
Please don't lecture me on legal things and such about removing safeties because there have been plenty of people taking out the series 80's parts on 1911's to make them shoot better and so on and so on. Thanks for any information and experiences .
