The LWRC IC-9 9mm pistol in Tungsten Gray pairs an 8.5-inch barrel with a 33-round Glock magazine (LWRC part no. ICP9TG8SBA3). LWRC designed the IC-9 around US-made Glock magazines and gave it a chamber ring delayed blowback operating system, so it handles like an AR but cycles like nothing else in the pistol-caliber class. The MonoForge upper receiver has an integrated rail base, and an Ultra Combat grip and fully ambidextrous controls round out the package. The 8.5-inch barrel keeps the overall length compact for range work, training and home defense. It is the LWRC answer for a shooter who wants a modern 9mm AR pistol with high-capacity Glock magazines.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm, a low-recoil pistol cartridge that suits high-volume practice and defensive use.
• Barrel length is 8.5 inches, long enough to build velocity and sight radius while keeping the pistol compact.
• Capacity is a 33-round Glock magazine, the long-stick option LWRC lists for the IC-9 alongside 10-round magazines.
• The finish is Tungsten Gray, a neutral color option in the IC-9 line.
• The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, the pitch used by most 9mm suppressor mounts, brakes and flash hiders.
• Rifling is 1:10 right-hand twist, a rate suited to the common 9mm bullet weights.
• The action is a chamber ring delayed blowback system, LWRC’s own take on a pistol-caliber AR.
• The MonoForge upper receiver with an integrated rail base is a coined forging that LWRC says is lighter and stronger than a standard-pattern upper.
• The handguard is M-LOK, so lights, grips and other accessories mount directly.
• Controls are fully ambidextrous, covering the fire/safety control, bolt catch release, magazine release and charging handle, with an Ultra Combat grip at the rear.
