Hello all, I live in stupid Kalifornia, and I had to pay a couple extra pretty pennies to have a "safe" P380 here.
The magazine disconnect was the biggest turn off to me. I could not even dry fire my new baby without a mag inserted. That got to be a pain in the ass real quick, as the slide would always lock back when I cocked the gun. Not to mention I think that feature can be dangerous, as I might need to execute a mid-fight reload, and if I have one in the chamber, it would be scary to know I couldn't use it.
So the first thing I did was completely disassemble the entire gun, and made the necessary cuts with my trusty Dremel to disable it. Boy putting that thing back together was tedious; especially since there are no guides that I know of. Figured it out ricky-tick though and now she will fire with no mag!
Now I want that pesky loaded chamber indicator gone. That feature doesn't bother me too much, as it is nice to be able to quickly ascertain whether the gun is hot or cold...but still, when it is up, it gets in the way of my front post, and more importantly, I'm having problems with stove pipes. I think the way the LCI works, it is interfering with the case when it ejects. I'm also having a problem with the gun going into battery, and I can visually see that the LCI is getting in the way of the rim. I was wondering if I could shave the part of the LCI that touches the case all the way off, rendering it inert.
Will that hurt the function of my firearm though??
Thanks for all the help everyone, this site is a great resource!
