LWRC SMG-45 .45 ACP AR Pistol with 8.5" Cold-Hammer-Forged Barrel & SB Tactical Folding Brace
The LWRC SMG-45 stands out in the pistol-caliber market with its short-recoil, delayed-blowback action—a design rarely seen in commercial .45 ACP platforms. Built on a 7075-T6 aluminum receiver set and fitted with an 8.5-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel, this compact firearm delivers durability, controllability, and reliable performance. Fully ambidextrous controls, a reversible non-reciprocating charging handle, and a side-folding SB Tactical brace make this SMG-style pistol versatile for both right- and left-handed shooters.

The SMG-45’s short-recoil system keeps the bolt weight low while mitigating felt recoil, offering smoother cycling than traditional blowback designs in .45 ACP.
Its 8.5" cold-hammer-forged chromoly steel barrel is threaded .578-28 RH and comes capped with a flash hider, providing immediate compatibility with common .45-caliber muzzle devices.
Controls are truly ambidextrous—including selector, magazine release, bolt catch, and a paddle-style mag release—so manipulation remains consistent regardless of shooting hand.
The aluminum free-float handguard features M-LOK slots for mounting accessories, and a full-length top rail allows easy alignment with iron sights or optics of your choice. Critical components benefit from nickel-boron surface treatment, enhancing lubricity and wear resistance.
A side-folding SB Tactical brace keeps the package compact for transport while delivering extra stability when deployed. Proprietary UMP-pattern magazines feed the SMG-45 and hold 25 rounds each, giving ample capacity in a compact footprint.
