The LWRC IC-9 9mm pistol in black carries an 8.5-inch barrel on LWRCI’s Individual Carbine pistol-caliber platform (LWRC part no. ICP9B8). LWRC designed the IC-9 around Glock magazines and gave it a chamber ring delayed blowback system, a 6-inch M-LOK rail and fully ambidextrous controls. The result is a compact 9mm AR that weighs about 4.1 pounds and measures about 22.5 inches. It works as a home-defense pistol, a vehicle gun or a soft-shooting range pistol that accepts Glock magazines.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm, a low-recoil round that suits a pistol-caliber AR.
• Barrel length is 8.5 inches, short enough to keep the pistol compact and long enough for useful velocity.
• The rifling is 1:10 right-hand twist, a rate suited to common 9mm bullet weights.
• The operating system is a chamber ring delayed blowback design, which LWRCI engineered for pistol-caliber ARs.
• The rail is a 6-inch M-LOK handguard, which takes lights, grips and accessories directly.
• The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, the standard pattern for 9mm muzzle devices.
• Magazines are OEM Glock pattern, the platform LWRCI designed the IC-9 around, in 10-round and 33-round sizes.
• The controls are fully ambidextrous, covering the fire-safety control, bolt catch, magazine release and charging handle.
• The oversized LWRCI Enhanced Trigger Guard allows operation with gloved hands.
