Description
The Trailblazer Lifecard LC1-P-T .22 LR 2.5″ Threaded Single-Shot folds flat to a credit-card silhouette, making it the go-to for urban carry when every millimeter counts. At 0.5″ closed thickness, this single-shot .22 LR pistol disappears in a pocket, wallet-style holster, or cargo pocket. Unfold it, and you get a full-size polymer grip with a 2.5″ threaded barrel (1/2×28 pattern) for suppressor or compensator use. It’s a break-open, single-shot design with an ambidextrous safety—simple, reliable, and built for one precise shot when you need it most.

Key Features
- Folding Credit-Card Design – WHY IT MATTERS: In an urban environment, you can’t always carry a full-size gun. This folds to 0.5″ thin, tucking into a front pocket without printing.
- Threaded 2.5″ Barrel (1/2×28) – WHY IT MATTERS: Attach a suppressor for discreet home defense or a compensator to manage muzzle rise in a tight hallway. Thread pattern matches most .22 LR cans.
- Break-Open Single-Shot Action – WHY IT MATTERS: No slide to rack, no magazine to lose. Just tip the barrel, load one .22 LR round, and close. Simple under stress.
- Ambidextrous Safety – WHY IT MATTERS: Lefties and righties both get a positive thumb safety. Prevents accidental discharge while folded or in a pocket.
- Full-Size Polymer Grip When Unfolded – WHY IT MATTERS: Despite its tiny folded size, the unfolded grip gives you a solid hold for accurate, low-recoil shooting with .22 LR.
Who It’s For
This is for the apartment dweller who needs a backup gun that fits in a jeans coin pocket. It’s for the urban CCW holder who already carries a primary firearm but wants a deep-concealment option for gym shorts, dress pants, or ankle carry. It’s also for the prepper who wants a lightweight survival pistol that packs flat in a bug-out bag.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Ultra-compact folded size (3.35″ x 2.1″ x 0.5″) – fits in wallet holster or shirt pocket.
- Pro: .22 LR is cheap to shoot and has almost no recoil, great for training or plinking.
- Con: Single-shot only – you get one round, then must manually reload. Not for sustained firefights.
- Con: .22 LR rimfire can be less reliable than centerfire ammo; use high-velocity loads for best performance per Trailblazer specs.

FAQ
How do you load the Trailblazer Lifecard LC1-P-T?
Flip the barrel release lever, tip the barrel up, insert one .22 LR round into the chamber, then close the barrel. It’s a break-open action—no magazine needed.
What muzzle devices fit the threaded barrel?
The 2.5″ barrel has a standard 1/2×28 thread pattern, so it accepts most .22 LR suppressors, compensators, and thread protectors. Per Trailblazer, use a 1/2×28 direct-thread mount.
Is this legal for concealed carry in my state?
Check your local laws. The Lifecard is a firearm, not a novelty. In most states, it qualifies as a handgun for CCW permits. Always verify with your issuing authority.
Can I carry it in a wallet holster?
Yes, many users use a dedicated wallet-style holster designed for the Lifecard. It folds flat and fits in a front pocket or inside a wallet sleeve. Ensure the holster covers the trigger guard.
What ammo should I use for best reliability?
Trailblazer recommends high-velocity .22 LR ammunition (like CCI Mini-Mag or Federal AutoMatch) for consistent ignition. Avoid subsonic or standard-velocity loads.
