The LWRCI IC-9 carbine delivers precision-engineered 9mm performance in a compact platform built for reliability and accuracy. This tungsten gray finished carbine combines LWRCI's proven manufacturing expertise with practical design elements that perform across multiple applications.
What Makes This Different
The IC-9 features LWRCI's cold hammer-forged barrel technology and proprietary piston operating system that reduces fouling and extends maintenance intervals compared to direct impingement designs. The 16-inch barrel length provides optimal velocity for 9mm ammunition while maintaining maneuverability. The tungsten gray Cerakote finish offers superior corrosion resistance and reduces glare in tactical situations.
Key Features
- Cold hammer-forged 16-inch barrel with 1:10 twist rate for consistent accuracy
- Short-stroke piston operating system reduces carbon buildup and heat transfer
- Fully ambidextrous controls including safety selector and magazine release
- M-LOK compatible handguard with integrated QD sling attachment points
- Adjustable stock with multiple length of pull positions
- Compatible with Glock-pattern magazines for parts commonality
- Tungsten gray Cerakote finish rated for 2,000+ hours salt spray resistance
Field performance demonstrates consistent sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition at 100 yards. The piston system cycles reliably with both subsonic and supersonic loads, making it suitable for suppressed applications. Law enforcement agencies report successful deployment in urban environments where the 9mm caliber reduces overpenetration concerns while maintaining effective stopping power.
