LWRC IC-9 Pistol 9mm 8.5" Threaded Barrel SBA3 Brace

The LWRC IC-9 pistol delivers AR-platform reliability in 9mm Luger with an 8.5-inch threaded barrel optimized for suppressor use. This compact firearm bridges the gap between pistol portability and carbine performance for tactical applications.

What Makes This Different

LWRC's IC-9 features a proprietary short-stroke gas piston system that eliminates the blowback operation common in most pistol-caliber carbines. The cold hammer-forged barrel provides consistent accuracy while the integrated rail system accepts standard accessories without modification. Unlike direct impingement designs, the piston system keeps fouling away from the bolt carrier group for enhanced reliability.

Key Features

• Short-stroke gas piston system for reduced fouling and increased reliability
• 8.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1/2x28 threading for suppressors
• SBA3 pistol stabilizing brace with adjustable length of pull
• Monolithic upper receiver with integrated Picatinny rail sections
• Ambidextrous controls including safety selector and magazine release
• LWRC compact stock system compatible with AR-15 triggers
• Nickel boron-coated bolt carrier group for corrosion resistance

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-2-inch groups at 50 yards with quality ammunition. The 8.5-inch barrel length provides complete powder burn for most 9mm loads while maintaining maneuverability in confined spaces. Law enforcement and competitive shooters appreciate the familiar AR-15 manual of arms combined with reduced recoil and lower ammunition costs compared to rifle cartridges.
