The LCI area is a PAIN to clean for me and I have heard that if it gets dirty it can cause some failures. With most 22 being pretty dirty I just disabled it for now and will get a delete when I have money and less projects going. I have also read that the issues of failures blamed on the LCI could be the extractor but either way with the LCI getting in the way while cleaning I would rather just not have it there. I check my Mark III the saw way I check my M&P if there is any question of a round in the chamber and that is to pull the slide back a bit.

I clean my Mark III with brake cleaner, and function check the LCI with my finger when I get done.
Have never had a single failure with thousands of rounds shot through the gun in competition. If I thought it would make me loose one match, it would come out, but it has not, and will stay in my gun.

The MKII is widely regarded, and it did not come with either a mag disconnect or LCI. Then the MK III came out; and had both. Over on the rimefirecentral forum, those aspects of the MK III are despised. You know how it is; people read it on the internet and so it must be true! Anyway, lots of folks don't like such things, just like they don't like the lock on some S&W revolvers. I found the LCI to be in the way when cleaning, plus I read about how ugly it is, and so I took it out. I also feel "all guns are always loaded" so that was another reason I didn't need it. But I see the reason some like it. However, Ruger heard the cries of the many; and the new MK IV doesn't have an LCI. The mag disconnect is still there, but it isn't a visible "lawyer" item like the LCI. Anyway, this is all true...here it is; for all to see!

...isn't that called a "press check" when you pull the slide back a little bit to visually verify that there is a round in the chamber?
