LWRC IC-9 9mm Luger PCC 16.0" - AR-15 Rifle

The LWRC IC-9 9mm Luger PCC 16.0" brings 9mm to an AR-15 format: less recoil, lower ammunition cost, and the familiar handling of a platform you already train on — an efficient combination for both competition and defense.

The LWRC IC-9 9mm Luger PCC 16.0" brings 9mm capability to a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle, using a short-stroke piston operating system designed for dependable function in any condition.

Lower Recoil, Better Follow-Ups: 9mm in a carbine platform delivers noticeably softer recoil than rifle cartridges, making faster, more accurate follow-up shots easier across extended strings of fire.

Ammunition Economy: 9mm ammunition is typically more affordable per round than centerfire rifle cartridges — an advantage that adds up quickly across training sessions and competition.

Unified Ammunition Logistics: Shooters who carry 9mm handguns can standardize their ammunition supply across pistol and carbine, simplifying what you buy, store, and carry to the range.

Home Defense Versatility: The carbine format offers more stability and better accuracy potential than a handgun alone, while 9mm keeps overpenetration risk lower than rifle cartridges in close-quarters use.
