Seconds after the shots, the detail established a perimeter around the President and covered his evacuation. To the surprise of many, a U.S. Secret Service (USSS) agent produced an Uzi submachine gun from a briefcase. This incident, and the now famous photo, illustrates the utilization of low-profile long guns for a protection detail.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the changing threat matrix has resulted in many agencies transitioning from 9mm subguns to comparably sized platforms chambered for a rifle cartridge.

The original PSD was built on LWRC\u2019s proven M6 platform and patented piston operating system. The PSD featured an 8.5\u201d barrel, and the legacy quad rail. My first experience with a PSD was in 2011, when I wrote a roundup article on SBRs. I requested a PSD upper for the project and paired it with my registered SBR lower. The little gun ran like a top and, at the end of the project, I purchased the upper. For many years, it was my \u201cgo-to\u201d SBR for home and car use.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66971\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_1720-XL.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ultra-compact-sbr-lwrc-ic-psd-5-56-full-review\" title=\"Ultra-Compact SBR: LWRC IC PSD 5.56\u2014Full Review.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66971\" title=\"Ultra-Compact SBR: LWRC IC PSD 5.56\u2014Full Review.\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66971\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_1720-XL.jpg\" alt=\"With the stock collapsed, the LWRC is an extremely short 25 inches in overall length.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_1720-XL.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_1720-XL-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_1720-XL-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_1720-XL-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-66971\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With the stock collapsed, the LWRC is an extremely short 25 inches in overall length.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>The Next Level<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_66966\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_013-X3-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ultra-compact-sbr-lwrc-ic-psd-5-56-full-review\" title=\"Ultra-Compact SBR: LWRC IC PSD 5.56\u2014Full Review.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66966\" title=\"Ultra-Compact SBR: LWRC IC PSD 5.56\u2014Full Review.\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-66966\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_013-X3-2-400x229.jpg\" alt=\"The forged aluminum lower employs fully ambidextrous controls.\" width=\"400\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_013-X3-2-400x229.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_013-X3-2-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_013-X3-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-66966\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The forged aluminum lower employs fully ambidextrous controls.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Since that time, the U.S. Army has initiated several programs to improve the existing M4 Carbine. LWRC was one of many companies that submitted proposals for the \u201cIndividual Carbine\u201d (IC) program. The goal was to improve the design, reliability, and ergonomics of the legacy M16 platform. The result was the new IC series of rifles that features a fully ambidextrous lower that is ergonomically compatible for both right and left-handed operation. The ambi safety\/selector is mirror image on both sides of the receiver as is the bolt catch. The bolt catch on the right side is positioned to the rear of the magazine release button. This position allows it to be manipulated by the trigger finger of a right-handed shooter. The left-side magazine release consists of a large paddle that is recessed and protected by two raised ribs that prevent any accidental release. It is also positioned to allow it to be manipulated by the trigger finger of a left-handed shooter.<\/p>\n<p>The new IC PSD also uses a Monoforge upper receiver that features a low-profile hand guard that is user configurable with sections of Picatinny rail. Both the upper and lower receiver are forged and then struck twice, once before and once after being heat treated.\u00a0 This processing is known in the industry as \u201ccoining\u201d and allows LWRC to maintain extremely tight tolerances. The lower features a flared magazine well for faster reloads and a magazine stop to eliminate over-insertion of the magazine.\u00a0 All IC rifles also feature LWRC\u2019s large, ambi charging handle.<\/p>\n<p>LWRC is known for their patented self-regulating short-stroke piston operating system.\u00a0 The piston design eliminates the gas and carbon build up in the receiver and bolt carrier group, and enhances reliability while reducing recoil and muzzle rise. The piston is accessed by loosening two retaining screws and removing the top portion of the rail assembly. The design captures the retaining screws and allows for easy maintenance in the field. Even with the piston gas system, the LWRC rifles retain substantial parts commonality with traditional direct impingement rifles.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_66967\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_014-X2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"ultra-compact-sbr-lwrc-ic-psd-5-56-full-review\" title=\"Ultra-Compact SBR: LWRC IC PSD 5.56\u2014Full Review.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-66967\" title=\"Ultra-Compact SBR: LWRC IC PSD 5.56\u2014Full Review.\" class=\"size-full wp-image-66967\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_014-X2.jpg\" alt=\"The IC PSD also uses a Monoforge upper receiver that features a low-profile hand guard that is user configurable with sections of Picatinny rail. \" width=\"1280\" height=\"631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_014-X2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_014-X2-150x74.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_014-X2-400x197.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_014-X2-768x379.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/ICPSDR5CK8_014-X2-1024x505.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-66967\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The IC PSD also uses a Monoforge upper receiver that features a low-profile hand guard that is user configurable with sections of Picatinny rail.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>The Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>LWRC barrels are manufactured using 41V45 steel alloy and are forged from an oversized barrel blank using high-pressure rotary hammers.

The first thing I noticed was how much smaller the mono-forge upper receiver was when compared to the original quad rail version. The ambidextrous controls on the lower well designed and intuitive to use. The Skirmish iron sights are some of the best on the market in my opinion.The rear sight is a square post with four different aperture diameters that can be selected by rotating the post. The front sight consists of a post that is adjustable for elevation and features a semi-circular guard that is reminiscent of the sights found on an MP5.

When combined with the LWRC\u2019s proprietary stock, the IC PSD collapses to a mere 25-inches. LWRC also offers Cerakote ceramic coating as a factory option to the standard black anodizing.\u00a0 When Cerakote is applied over the top of the standard Type 3 hard coat anodizing, it provides exceptional resistance to both abrasion and corrosion.\u00a0 Cerakote also has self-lubricating properties that enhance reliability, especially in dry and duty environments.\u00a0 Currently, the company offers Cerakote in FDE (Flat Dark Earth), OD Green (Olive Drab) and Patriot brown.<\/p>\n<p>It was not until my Form 4 cleared that I had an opportunity to really sit down and examine the little rifle. I was immediately struck by how attractive the little carbine is.\u00a0 The Patriot Brown upper and lower receivers are accented by the black stock, Magpul MIAD pistol grip, operating controls, and rail panels. The iron sights, barrel, and flash hider are also black, giving the new IC PSD a very serious look. The IC PSD comes standard with a mil-spec trigger with a pull that measured 7 lbs., 8 oz.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Personalized PSD<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As with most of my firearms, I modified the PSD to better suit my needs. The first modification was to replace the stock trigger with a Geissele G2S 2-stage trigger.

The Mini Scout features an integral mount and produces 300 lumens from a single CR-123 lithium battery. While the M-300 will accept a pressure switch, I selected to utilize the tap cap for activation.
