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

Running 9mm in an AR-15 chassis, the LWRC IC-9 9mm Luger PCC 16.0" gives you reduced recoil, accessible ammunition costs, and a platform that shares controls with any AR-15 you already shoot.

A semi-automatic AR-15 rifle chambered in 9mm, the LWRC IC-9 9mm Luger PCC 16.0" combines short-stroke piston operation with standard AR-15 architecture for straightforward reliability.

Competition Ready: Pistol caliber carbines are a growing force in USPSA and other competitions — this platform is well-suited for PCC-class competition straight from the box.

Reduced Operating Costs: Running 9mm cuts per-round costs compared to rifle ammunition, extending how long you can train on a set budget without giving anything up in terms of practice value.

Familiar AR-15 Controls: Standard AR-15 ergonomics mean any AR-trained shooter can transition to this PCC with minimal adjustment — the same manual of arms, the same muscle memory.

Effective Home Defense: The 16.0" barrel optimizes 9mm velocity for defensive use while the carbine format provides handling advantages over handguns in a home or property defense role.

The upper and lower receivers are constructed from 7075 aluminum with a Type III Hardcoat Anodized finish — a durable combination that resists corrosion and maintains tight tolerances over an extended service life.

A strong pick for USPSA PCC competition, recreational range use, and home defense. Sharing ammunition with compatible handguns simplifies logistics for range trips and everyday carry.

LWRC is the benchmark for short-stroke piston AR-15 rifles — their operating system runs cooler and cleaner than direct impingement designs, and is trusted by law enforcement and military users worldwide. Made in the USA.
