I know there are some people who don't like them but one of the reasons I bought an SR9 was because of the tactile LCI. It's a "house gun" and I want to know and see (if possible) when I touch it if it's chambered, in the dark, in the rain, in the middle of a hurricane, etc., etc. Press-checking is a good thing to practice occasionally but I'd much rather not have to do it with a pistol I'm relying on in an emergency situation, possibly in the dark, possibly after not having touched it for a month. I want to pick it up and know what the status is with zero effort, and importantly, zero noise.
