The LWRCI IC-9 Carbine delivers precision engineering in a 9mm platform designed for versatility and reliability. This 16-inch barreled rifle combines LWRCI's proven manufacturing standards with the practical advantages of pistol caliber carbine operation. Built for shooters who demand consistent performance across multiple applications, from competitive shooting to tactical training scenarios.
What Makes This Different
The IC-9 features LWRCI's proprietary cold hammer-forged barrel technology, delivering superior accuracy and extended barrel life compared to standard button-rifled alternatives. The rifle utilizes a direct blowback operating system optimized for 9mm ammunition, eliminating the complexity of gas systems while maintaining reliable cycling. LWRCI's modular rail system provides 15 inches of continuous Picatinny rail space, significantly more mounting options than most competing carbines.
Key Features

The IC-9's blowback system cycles consistently with both subsonic and supersonic 9mm ammunition, making it suitable for suppressed shooting applications. The 16-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for 9mm cartridges while maintaining maneuverability in confined spaces. Competition shooters appreciate the rifle's inherent accuracy potential, while tactical users benefit from the reduced recoil and faster follow-up shots compared to rifle caliber alternatives.
