Description
The Trailblazer Firearms LifeCard Poly .22LR Black/Grey is a single-shot, break-action handgun designed for ultralight carry and discreet backup. Weighing just 7.5 ounces and folding flat to the size of a credit card, this polymer-framed pistol chambers .22 Long Rifle and stores in a pocket or pack. Per Trailblazer Firearms specs, it features a manual safety, rotating barrel, and integrated cartridge storage. It is not a range toy—it is a get-off-me tool for when a full-size handgun is impractical.

Key Features
- Folding Flat Profile — The LifeCard folds completely flat, measuring only 0.5 inches thick. This allows it to slip into a wallet-style holster, front pocket, or even a passport case without printing.
- Integrated Cartridge Storage — The grip holds two spare .22LR rounds in a built-in compartment. This means you can reload quickly without fumbling for loose ammunition.
- Manual Safety with Visual Indicator — A thumb-actuated safety blocks the trigger and hammer. A red dot appears when the safety is off, giving you a clear visual cue.
- Rotating Barrel for Easy Loading — The barrel rotates 90 degrees to the side, allowing you to drop a round directly into the chamber. No magazine, no slide to rack—just load, close, and fire.
- Lightweight Polymer Construction — At 7.5 ounces, you will not notice it until you need it. The glass-filled polymer frame resists moisture and corrosion better than steel.
Who It’s For
The LifeCard is built for deep-concealment carry when a traditional handgun is too bulky. It fits the needs of runners, hikers, and travelers who want a firearm that disappears in a waistband or ankle holster. It also serves as a backup gun for law enforcement or as a survival kit addition for backpackers. If you need a firearm that fits in a coin pocket, this is it.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Ultra-discreet profile—folds to 3.35 x 2.13 inches.
- Pro: Simple manual of arms—no slide, no magazine, no springs to fail.
- Pro: Affordable price point for a specialty carry piece.
- Con: Single-shot only—no quick follow-up shot. You must reload by rotating the barrel, which takes practice.

FAQ
Is the Trailblazer LifeCard legal to carry in all states?
No. Because it folds into a compact shape, some states classify it as an “any other weapon” (AOW) or require specific permits. Check your local laws before ordering. We ship to all 50 states, but you are responsible for compliance.
What .22 LR ammunition works best in the LifeCard?
Standard-velocity or high-velocity .22 LR works reliably. Avoid subsonic or hyper-velocity loads—they may not cycle the barrel rotation smoothly. Per Trailblazer Firearms specs, CCI Mini-Mag and Federal AutoMatch are good choices.
How do you clean the LifeCard?
Open the barrel, wipe down the chamber and bore with a .22-caliber cleaning rod and solvent. Lubricate the rotating barrel joint lightly with CLP. Do not disassemble the frame—the polymer housing is sealed.
Can I mount a red dot or light on the LifeCard?
No. There is no accessory rail, and the folded profile prevents mounting anything. This is a minimalist tool—add-ons defeat the purpose.
What is the trigger pull weight?
Per Trailblazer Firearms specs, the trigger pull is approximately 8–10 pounds. It is a long, heavy pull designed for safety, not precision.
