Cambridge, MD –-(Ammoland.com)- One of the most exciting product releases in LWRCI company history is finally here. LWRCI announces the release of its first pistol-caliber carbine – the SMG-45. This highly-anticipated SMG model combines the company’s experience on the AR platform with an innovative delayed-blowback/short-recoil operating system to deliver a unique pistol-caliber carbine shooting experience.
LWRCI SMG .45 Pistol
“We listened closely to shooters, operators, and customers throughout the development of this exciting new platform for LWRCI,” says David Ridley, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “The SMG is truly a ‘Step-Up’ pistol-caliber carbine that offers our customers innovative features and comfortable ergonomics in a compact package.”
Built from the ground up around US-manufactured UMP magazines, the SMG-45 is a completely new PCC in .45 ACP that features many of the same controls and performance attributes found in LWRCI™’s luxury gas-piston AR lineup. LWRCI™’s commitment to craftsmanship and design excellence is clearly evident in the SMG-45: the firearm delivers the high performance that discerning shooters demand alongside the quality and innovation that customers have come to expect from LWRCI.
Constructed of advanced aluminum and steel alloys and protected with hard-coat anodizing, ferritic nitrocarburization, and nickel-boron surface treatments, the SMG is built to last. Features on the SMG include a signature fully-ambidextrous lower receiver with AR-style controls for the safety and bolt catch/release, a paddle magazine release, the LWRCI™ Ultra Combat Grip™, and an LWRCI™ Enhanced Fire Control Group. The upper includes an 8.5” cold- hammer-forged CrMoV steel barrel, LWRCI’s familiar Modular Rail System with LWRCI™ Rail Panels and Hand Stop installed at 3/6/9 o’clock, Magpul MBUS Pro sights, and more.
The launch configuration for the SMG-45 is a pistol equipped with the SB Tactical SBTi folding subgun brace. The SMG-45 ships with two 25-round magazines.

Why would you build a gun that literally everyone and their effing brother would buy, then price yourself right out of the market? This seems like more of a publicity stunt than an actual product.
I guess it’ll look cool in the next John Wick movie or in the office armory of Triple Canopy or Xi…but what need does it fill, at 3K, if for $300, you could add a .300 blk upper to your AR pistol and rock out with a harder hitting caliber? Leave the pistol calibers in your sidearm. I love my .45 pistols but I’d fight my way to an AR in any conflict.
JMHO…
Way more expensive than my existing Glock snapped into a Roni!
Wow, $2995. That price is just insane. Talk about overpriced. I’ll keep my CZ Scorpion Carbine.
Sure are a lot of people complaining about the price. If you cannot afford a gun like this, you shouldn’t buy one. This is NOT a $400 gun–in price or quality. I plan to spend the money to get one of these because I can afford it and I want it. For you complainers, go look for a $400 gun and spend your money there, be content, and keep your lofty insulting words to yourself!
Sounds like Jr high school in here. 3k is a lot of money to pay for something that whatever job it would fulfill could be done with something less expensive. On the other hand, Damn a gun company is coming out with a new gun that many people can legally own. There is about 85 other countries where dudes are looking at it going wow that will look cool as an airsoft…..
