The LWRC IC-PSD Pistol chambered in 5.56NATO/.223REM is a premium quality short-stroke gas piston personal defense weapon with an SB Tactical SBA3 pistol brace. This Individual Carbine (IC) - Personal Security Detail (PSD) Pistol delivers rifle cartridge firepower in an ultra compact pistol platform that can be discreetly stored, carried, and deployed for personal defense. This pistol is directly descended from the rugged gas piston rifles developed by LWRCI™ to meet the requirements for the U.S. Army Individual Carbine program. The IC-PSD Pistol is built on our patented self-regulating short-stroke gas piston system which can be accessed quickly by loosening two thumb screws and constructed using the highest quality materials and components. LWRC delivers the highest level of reliability and performance through the use of "Coined" forging which work hardens the surface of the metal and allows for finer detail and more precise tolerances. Precision manufactured components such as the LWRCI Monoforge™ upper receiver with integrated rail-base are matched to a slim ergonomic handguard, fully ambidextrous lower receiver, ambi charging handle and a patented short stroke gas piston system which delivers unparalleled reliability and ease of maintenance. The LWRC IC-PSD Pistol incorporates an enhanced Nickel-Teflon coated fire control group to send rounds downrange through a cold hammer forged, Black Nitride treated barrel with a 1:7 twist. This pistol comes equipped with excellent LWRCI flip-up Skirmish Sights. The LWRC IC-PSD Pistol is an outstanding choice for those looking for a premium quality, rifle caliber, personal defense weapon capable of operating around obstacles for home defense or duty.
