LWRCI IC-9 9mm Carbine 16" Barrel Patriot Brown - ICR9PBC16

The LWRCI IC-9 represents a significant advancement in pistol-caliber carbine design, delivering rifle-platform accuracy with 9mm cost-effectiveness and reduced recoil. This 16-inch barrel configuration maximizes velocity potential while maintaining compact handling characteristics that excel in close-quarters applications.

What Makes This Different

Built on LWRCI's proven piston-driven operating system, the IC-9 eliminates the blowback violence common in direct-impingement 9mm platforms. The cold-hammer-forged barrel and free-floating handguard deliver consistent sub-2 MOA accuracy, while the adjustable gas system ensures reliable cycling across various ammunition weights from 115 to 147 grains.

Key Features

• Short-stroke piston system with adjustable gas regulation for reliable cycling
• 16-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel with 1:10 twist rate optimized for 9mm
• Patriot Brown Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance
• M-LOK compatible free-float handguard with full-length Picatinny top rail
• Accepts Glock magazines including 17, 19, and 33-round configurations
• Ambidextrous controls including safety selector and magazine release
• LWRCI's proprietary muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise

The IC-9's piston operation runs significantly cleaner than blowback systems, extending maintenance intervals and improving reliability in adverse conditions. Competition shooters benefit from the platform's inherent accuracy and fast follow-up shots, while law enforcement appreciates the reduced overpenetration risk and ammunition cost savings. The 16-inch barrel configuration qualifies as a rifle under federal regulations, eliminating NFA restrictions while providing optimal ballistic performance for the 9mm cartridge.
