The LWRCI IC-9 delivers precision engineering in a compact pistol caliber carbine platform, combining the reliability of 9mm ammunition with LWRCI's proven manufacturing standards. This 8.5-inch barreled configuration provides optimal balance between maneuverability and ballistic performance in the distinctive Patriot Brown finish.
What Makes This Different
Built on LWRCI's proprietary operating system, the IC-9 features a direct blowback action specifically tuned for 9mm performance. The cold hammer-forged barrel delivers consistent accuracy while the modular handguard system accepts standard M-LOK accessories. Unlike standard AR-15 conversions, this purpose-built platform eliminates the need for buffer weight modifications or specialized bolt carriers.
Key Features
- Cold hammer-forged 8.5-inch barrel with 1:10 twist rate for optimal 9mm stabilization
- Proprietary direct blowback operating system designed specifically for pistol calibers
- M-LOK compatible modular rail handguard with full-length top rail
- Accepts standard Glock magazines for widespread compatibility
- Ambidextrous safety selector and magazine release controls
- Durable Patriot Brown Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance
- Standard AR-15 trigger group compatibility for customization options
The IC-9's compact dimensions make it suitable for close-quarters applications while maintaining the familiar AR-15 manual of arms. The 9mm chambering provides reduced recoil compared to rifle cartridges, enabling faster follow-up shots and extended training sessions. Weather-sealed components ensure reliable function in adverse conditions, while the precision-machined receiver maintains tight tolerances for consistent accuracy.
