The LWRC IC-9 compact 9mm pistol in black (brand part no. ICP9B5KSBA3) is the short-barrel version of LWRC pistol-caliber AR. Its barrel is under six inches, which makes the pistol much shorter than the 8.5-inch model while keeping the same 1/2×28 muzzle threading. Like the rest of the IC-9 family, it uses a chamber ring delayed blowback action and takes Glock-pattern magazines. It carries 27+1 rounds and an SBA3 pistol brace. A compact 9mm that handles easily in tight spaces and still shoots like a premium AR.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm, a pistol-caliber platform that keeps recoil light and ammunition affordable.
• The barrel is under six inches long, a compact length that keeps the whole pistol short and maneuverable.
• The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, the standard AR thread for brakes, flash hiders and suppressors.
• Rifling is 1:10 right-hand twist, a rate suited to the common 9mm bullet weights.
• Capacity is 27+1, using a Glock-pattern magazine so aftermarket magazines are easy to find.
• The action is a chamber ring delayed blowback system, which slows the bolt on firing for smoother cycling.
• The MonoForge upper receiver has an integrated rail base and is lighter and stronger than a standard-pattern upper.
• Controls are fully ambidextrous, covering the fire/safety control, bolt catch release, magazine release and charging handle.
• The finish is black, over a construction treated with hard-coat anodizing, ferritic nitrocarburization and nickel-boron.
• The LWRC Ultra Combat Grip and an oversized trigger guard allow operation with gloved hands.
