The LWRC IC A5 .300 Blackout Pistol (brand part no. ICMKIIP3B10SBA3) is an AR-pattern pistol descended directly from rifles LWRCI developed for the U.S. Army’s Individual Carbine Program, built here with a 10.5-inch barrel and a stabilizing arm brace instead of a shoulder stock. LWRC, a manufacturer trusted for military-grade craftsmanship, equips the IC A5 with its proprietary short-stroke gas piston operating system, delivering reliable cycling in extreme conditions with easier cleaning than a direct-impingement design. Chambered in .300 AAC Blackout, the pistol is effective at short range whether run suppressed or unsuppressed, making it a strong choice for home defense and close-range work where a compact platform matters. Finished in black and built for hard use, it carries the same quality control LWRCI applies to its full line of rifles.
