Description
There isn't much else on the market like the LifeCard. Trailblazer Firearms set out to build the most packable pistol possible, and this .22 WMR version is the result: a folding single-shot handgun that closes down to 3.375 inches long, 2.125 inches tall, and just half an inch thick. That's roughly the footprint of a credit card, and at around 7 ounces it disappears into a jeans pocket, a hiking kit, or a small pouch without a second thought. When you need it, the grip unfolds into a usable full-size handle, which is a clever bit of engineering for something this small.
Built Like a Real Gun, Because It Is One
Don't let the novelty shape fool you. The LifeCard is machined in the USA from billet aluminum with a barrel, bolt, and trigger cut from pre-hardened 4140 steel. The steel wears a corrosion-resistant Isonite treatment and the aluminum is hard-coat anodized, with this model finished in Trailblazer's grey Concrete color. The action is simple single-action: tip up the 2.5-inch barrel, drop in a round, close it, and manually cock the bolt when you're ready to fire. Ambidextrous latches on both sides handle folding and barrel release, so it runs the same for lefties and righties. A built-in safety design means it will not fire while folded, and the handle hides a storage compartment for three spare .22 WMR rounds plus a lanyard loop.
Why the LifeCard in .22 WMR
The original LifeCard launched in .22 LR, and this magnum version brings noticeably more energy to the same tiny package. You will be hard pressed to find a smaller platform chambered for .22 WMR anywhere. It has earned a following as a trail gun, a minimalist kit companion, and one of the most conversation-starting range pieces you can pull out of a pocket. Trailblazer backs it with a lifetime warranty, and the machining quality has a reputation for punching well above what you'd expect from a pistol this unusual. If you appreciate clever engineering and want something genuinely different in the safe, this one delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the LifeCard fire while it is folded up?
No. The LifeCard has a built-in safety design that prevents it from firing when closed, so it stays inert while folded in a pocket or pack. It only becomes ready to fire once the grip is unfolded and the bolt is manually cocked.
How do you load and fire the Trailblazer LifeCard .22 WMR?
Unfold the grip using the ambidextrous latch, then use the barrel latch to tip up the 2.5-inch barrel and load a single .22 WMR round. Close the barrel, pull the bolt back to cock it, and it's ready to fire. This updated design lets the barrel close without holding the release slider, and the handle stores three spare rounds for reloads.
Does the LifeCard .22 WMR have sights?
It doesn't wear traditional sights, just a simple channel along the top for basic aiming. That fits the design intent, since this is a close-range pistol built around extreme portability rather than precision work. Most owners find it easy to point naturally inside typical short distances.
Can I shoot .22 LR through the .22 WMR LifeCard?
No, this model is chambered specifically for .22 WMR and the two cartridges have different case dimensions. Trailblazer builds separate LifeCard versions in .22 LR, including a threaded-barrel option, if you want the lighter round. Stick with quality .22 Magnum ammo in this one for reliable rimfire ignition.
