Does a new CA compliant

[guard]

Do all "CA Compliant" or "on roster" handguns require an LCI (loaded chamber indicator)? I'm looking at a GLOCK 34 Gen 3 being sold new from a dealer...but I'm also not fond of LCI's. I can't seem to find listed anywhere if this gun has it or if I should just assume it does. It's a little complicated regarding the purchase, so I can't jist call and ask the dealer. Anyone know if it has an LCI?

No they do not require it if they are grandfathered on the roster.

However all modern Glocks have LCI, in every state, in the form of a bump on the extractor. That includes G34G3. You could replace the extractor if you want, but honestly it is a great LCI and I say that as a person who despises nanny state features and the CA CLI.

If you didn’t know what it was you would never even know you had it, that is how unobtrusive it is and I bet at least half of Glock owners are oblivious to the fact they even have it.

CA now requires CLI, chamber loaded indicator, it is different from LCI. So the LCI on Glocks is not the same as CLI on Ca Sigs, S&W Shields etc.

The G34G3 is a great gun and you will appreciate the LCI on it, as does every officer or soldier who carries a Glock. They also have LCI on their Glock duty weapons, all of them.

We should also point out that no new or updated gun is getting on the roster anytime soon. Thanks to Kamala Harris microstamping is required and its never been demonstrated.

Thanks so much for the response!

To get on the roster three things are needed;

Micro Stamping

Loaded Chamber Indicator

Magazine Safety

The legal term is "Chamber Load Indicator" - PC 32010

(d) (1) Commencing January 1, 2006, no center-fire semiautomatic pistol may be submitted for testing pursuant to Sections 31900 to 32110, inclusive, if it does not have either a chamber load indicator, or a magazine disconnect mechanism if it has a detachable magazine.

(2) Commencing January 1, 2007, no center-fire semiautomatic pistol may be submitted for testing pursuant to Sections 31900 to 32110, inclusive, if it does not have both a chamber load indicator and a magazine disconnect mechanism.

(3) Commencing January 1, 2006, no rimfire semiautomatic pistol may be submitted for testing pursuant to Sections 31900 to 32110, inclusive, if it has a detachable magazine, and does not have a magazine disconnect mechanism.

The exact term is the difference from the Glock example above, and this

As the law is today (Sept 2019) new requirements do not apply to handguns already on the Roster.

Agreed, the Glock LCI is as unobtrusive as they get, and I not only don't mind it, I actually like it.

I have to disagree with this. Steyr's LCI has always been superior to Glock's.

Q: How do you check the Glock LCI on a holstered pistol?
A: You don't.

The 1911 LCI is even less obtrusive.

Q. How does a gun that was loaded before you put it in the holster become unloaded while riding in the holster?
A. It doesn’t

And LOL at the extra parts that must be required for that Steyr 3rd pin LCI. And even funnier that the Steyr you show (if it is current spec) and all new Steyrs also have an exact copy of Glock’s extractor LCI

Keep hating though. Maybe someday 80% of US Law Enforcement will agree with you and Steyr
