Lc9 issue

Shooting my lc9 today the red tape like strip came off the loaded chamber indicator. The gun still functions as it should and the ingicator still sticks up when loaded its just not red on the left side anymore. Anything i should be concerned about or should i just ignore it?

the red also came off my SR9
ignore it !

If it bothers you, just 're-paint it with red nail polish. Did you really rely on the red stripe to know the gun was cocked?

Didnt bother me at all just wanted to make sure it wasnt a sign of issues to come

I note that the excellent Springfield Armory XD series chamber indicator is much smaller and has no red markings. There is really no need for concern and as a previous poster suggested you could always just put a dab of red nail polish on the indicator if you so desire, but it's not at all necessary.

Backwoods,
I noticed from your picture that the slide is marked LC 9, which would indicate that this is a double action only hammer model. Is that so? I also noticed that there appears to be no thumb safety, I was under the impression that all of the old LC9 pistols came with the thumb safety as standard.

My LC9s does not have a loaded chamber indicator.
is this something new? or is it something discontinued. 8)

The 's's don't have and indicator that kicks up like that and they have a split on top that shows if there is a round in the chamber. At least on my pro that's the way it is.

The pop-up loaded chamber indicator was dropped when Ruger converted the LC9 to the LC9 striker model. Some say that the pop-up indicator helped hold the case rim and promoted better reliability. Personally, I like the old model with a hammer and double action for each shot for this kind of carry pistol.
