The LifeCard firearm is among the most inventive and discreet firearms presently on the market. Crafted by Trailblazer Arms, the single-shot, .22 caliber gun is designed for optimal portability and discretion, making it an intriguing option for those seeking a highly concealable self-defense weapon.

Upon first sight, the LifeCard doesn’t resemble a conventional gun. When collapsed, it is only a mere 3.375 inches in length, and 2.125 inches tall, and 0.5 inches thick—approximately the size of a stack of credit cards. Weighing in at only 7 ounces, it’s feather-light and can easily fit into a purse, billfold, or tiny bag without attracting notice.

Even with its small size, the LifeCard is constructed to be durable. The frame and handle are crafted from anodized aluminium, while the barrel, and trigger are made from steel. This build ensures that the handgun is both robust and reliable, capable of withstanding daily handling and harsh conditions.

The LifeCard is a single-round firearm, which means it stores one cartridge of .22-caliber ammo per shot. While this reduces its round count compared to more traditional rimfire handguns, this is a compromise that allows for its unparalleled portability. The gun further has a dedicated storage able to store four more rounds, providing convenient access to additional bullets if required.

Among the LifeCard’s notable attributes is its safety design. The weapon cannot be fired in its folded state, which adds a layer of safety when carrying it. To ready the gun, you must first unfold it, and then the hammer must be manually cocked. This deliberate process helps to prevent accidental discharge and ensures the user is prepared before firing.

The LifeCard is not intended to replace traditional guns for self-defense, but rather to be used as a final resort when no other weapons are accessible. Its small size, ease of concealment, and ease of use make it an appealing choice for users who need stealth and portability in a weapon.
