Description
The Trailblazer Firearms LifeCard 22Mag Black/Tan is a single-shot .22 Magnum handgun that folds into a credit-card-sized package. It’s designed for deep concealment when you need a backup piece that disappears in a wallet or pocket. Weighing just 7.2 ounces and measuring 0.5 inches thick when closed, this is the last-ditch tool for EDC practitioners who prioritize minimal bulk over capacity.

Key Features
- Credit-Card Profile — Folds flat to 3.375 inches by 2.125 inches by 0.5 inches, so it fits in a wallet pocket or passport case. Why it matters: you can carry it in places where a traditional handgun prints or won’t fit.
- Single-Shot .22 Magnum — Delivers rimfire power in a break-open action with manual cocking. Why it matters: you get enough muzzle energy for defensive use (roughly 300 ft-lbs at the muzzle) without the weight of a revolver or semi-auto.
- Integrated Safety — Includes a manual thumb safety and a trigger safety to prevent accidental discharge while folded. Why it matters: you can carry it in a pocket or wallet without worrying about a negligent discharge.
- Ambidextrous Design — The barrel release and safety are accessible from either side. Why it matters: left-handed shooters don’t have to modify their grip to operate the gun.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish — Black polymer frame with a textured tan grip that resists sweat and moisture. Why it matters: daily pocket carry exposes the gun to humidity and body oils, so durability matters.
Who It’s For
The LifeCard is for the EDC minimalist who already carries a primary handgun but wants a backup that fits in a watch pocket or wallet. It’s also for off-body carriers who need a gun that disappears in a bag or folio. If you’re a runner, hiker, or traveler who can’t carry a full-size pistol, this fills the gap.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Ultra-thin profile, lightweight, reliable single-action trigger, easy to conceal in non-traditional locations, affordable price point under $350.
Cons: Single-shot capacity means no follow-up shot without reloading. The .22 Magnum cartridge is less effective than 9mm or .380 ACP for self-defense. Manual cocking and loading require two hands under stress.
Comparison with Competitors

|---|---|---|---|
| Caliber | .22 Magnum | 9mm | 9mm |
| Capacity | 1 round | 15+1 | 17+1 |
| Weight (empty) | 7.2 oz | 22 oz | 24 oz |

The LifeCard sacrifices capacity and caliber for extreme concealability. The Zev and Lone Wolf options offer higher performance but require a dedicated holster and more bulk. If you need a gun that truly disappears, the LifeCard wins. If you want a primary carry piece, go with the competitors.
FAQ
How do I load and fire the Trailblazer LifeCard?
Open the barrel by pulling the release lever, insert one .22 Magnum round, close the barrel, manually cock the hammer, and pull the trigger. After firing, open the barrel to eject the spent casing.
Is the LifeCard legal to carry in all states?
Check your local laws. The LifeCard is a firearm, so it must be carried in compliance with state and local regulations regarding concealed carry, permit requirements, and prohibited locations. It is not classified as a “wallet gun” or novelty item.
Can I use .22 LR ammunition in the LifeCard?
No. The LifeCard 22Mag is chambered exclusively for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR). Using .22 LR can cause unsafe pressure or malfunction. Always use the correct ammunition marked on the barrel.
How do I clean and maintain the LifeCard?
Disassemble by removing the barrel pin. Clean the barrel with a .22 caliber brush and solvent. Wipe the frame with a dry cloth. Lubricate the hinge and cocking mechanism lightly. Per manufacturer specs, avoid soaking the polymer frame in solvents.

It ships in a plastic case with a manual and a cable lock. No holster is included, but many users carry it in a dedicated wallet-style sleeve or a pocket organizer.
