Glocks are entirely enclosed systems; there isn't a hammer that you can see on the outside to tell you if it's cocked or not. A chamber indicator is basically a port that you can see a bullet through, and therefore know if the bullet is loaded.

It's a stupid feature, and should never be relied upon. Stuff could feasibly get inside the indicator and provide a false positive (or negative if the stuff is dark), and you NEVER want any kind of uncertainty when it comes to firearms.

You're supposed to check that a gun is loaded every time it's handed to you, even if someone says it isn't.
