The LWRC IC-9 9mm pistol in tungsten gray (brand part no. ICP9TG8SBA3) is an 8.5-inch pistol-caliber AR that runs on Glock-pattern magazines. It is listed with a 33-round magazine, the larger of the two OEM Glock sizes LWRC lists for the IC-9 line. A chamber ring delayed blowback action replaces the usual blowback, which takes some of the snap out of 9mm cycling. The SBA3 brace named in its part number gives the pistol a stable shooting position. It fits training, competition practice and home defense.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 9mm, a pistol-caliber platform that keeps recoil light and ammunition affordable.
• The barrel is 8.5 inches long with 1/2×28 muzzle threads, so a muzzle device or suppressor mounts directly.
• 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, which slows the bolt on firing for smoother cycling than a plain blowback PCC.
• The MonoForge upper receiver has an integrated rail base and is lighter and stronger than a standard-pattern upper.
• The handguard is a 6-inch M-LOK rail, with room for a light, grip or sling mount.
• Controls are fully ambidextrous, covering the fire/safety control, bolt catch release, magazine release and charging handle.
• The trigger is the LWRC Enhanced Fire Control Group with nickel Teflon coating for a crisp pull and positive reset.
• The grip is the LWRC Ultra Combat Grip, paired with an oversized trigger guard that allows operation with gloved hands.
• Capacity with the listed 33-round Glock-pattern magazine gives a deep reserve for drills and stage work.
