LWRCI IC-9 Carbine 9mm 16" Barrel FDE Finish - Model ICR9CK16

The LWRCI IC-9 carbine delivers precision engineering and proven reliability in a lightweight 9mm platform. This direct blowback system combines LWRCI's manufacturing excellence with practical features that enhance performance across multiple applications.

What Makes This Different

The IC-9 utilizes a direct blowback operating system optimized specifically for 9mm ammunition, eliminating the complexity of gas systems while maintaining consistent cycling. LWRCI's cold hammer-forged barrel and proprietary bolt design deliver superior accuracy compared to standard pistol-caliber carbines. The monolithic upper receiver provides enhanced rigidity and eliminates the need for separate handguard mounting systems.

Key Features

• 16-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:10 twist rate for optimal 9mm performance
• Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance and reduced visibility
• Accepts standard Glock magazines for widespread compatibility and availability
• M-LOK compatible handguard with full-length top rail for optics and accessories
• Ambidextrous controls including magazine release and safety selector
• LWRCI's enhanced trigger group with crisp 4.5-pound pull weight
• Adjustable gas block allows fine-tuning for various ammunition weights

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition at 100 yards. The direct blowback system cycles reliably with both subsonic and supersonic loads, making it suitable for suppressed applications. Law enforcement agencies report excellent performance in close-quarters scenarios, while competitive shooters appreciate the flat-shooting characteristics and minimal recoil impulse.
