Description
Most folding rifles hinge at the stock and call it a day. The Trailblazer Pivot takes a completely different route. Its patented mechanism lets the entire upper receiver and barrel swing around to rest alongside the lower, shrinking the whole rifle to 20.9 inches folded while keeping the same slim 1.15 inch width open or closed. Press the release, rotate the top half, and everything locks into place ready to run. That clever design earned the Pivot the 2024 American Rifleman Golden Bullseye award for Tactical Gun of the Year, and once you handle one it's easy to see why.
Full Rifle Performance from the Pivot's 16 Inch Barrel
There's no ballistic compromise here. The Pivot carries a true 16 inch barrel threaded 1/2×28 for a suppressor or muzzle device, and 9mm out of a barrel that long picks up noticeably more velocity than any pistol will give you. The direct blowback action feeds through the pistol grip using widely available Glock pattern 9mm magazines, and a 15 round mag ships in the box. The collapsible stock extends the rifle from 26.7 to 29.7 inches for a proper cheek weld, and there's a built-in compartment in the stock that holds a spare magazine so your reload travels with the gun. Picatinny rail up top handles optics or flip-up sights, and M-LOK slots take care of lights and other accessories. At roughly 5 pounds, it's an easy carry.
Smart Safety Built into the Trailblazer Pivot
Trailblazer thought through the folding rifle concept beyond just the hinge. The Pivot won't fire when folded and can't be closed with a magazine inserted, plus there's a manual safety on top of that. This olive drab green model adds a rugged, field-ready look to an already distinctive American-made rifle. Whether it lives in a pack for backcountry trips, tucks into a vehicle kit, or just turns heads at the range, the Pivot delivers real rifle capability in a package that disappears when you don't need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What magazines does the Trailblazer Pivot use?
The Pivot feeds through the pistol grip and runs standard Glock pattern 9mm magazines. It ships with one 15-round magazine, and higher capacity Glock mags work as well. The stock even has a built-in compartment to store a spare magazine, which is a nice touch for grab-and-go setups.
How small does the Pivot get when folded?
Folded, the Pivot measures just 20.9 inches long, 1.15 inches wide, and 5.9 inches tall, which is remarkable for a rifle with a full 16 inch barrel. The upper receiver and barrel rotate around to sit alongside the lower, so the folded package stays flat and slim. It fits easily in a backpack, range bag, or vehicle compartment.
Does the Pivot come with sights or an optic?
No, this model ships without sights. It has a Picatinny rail on top ready for a red dot, low power scope, or flip-up irons, plus M-LOK slots for lights and other accessories. Most owners pair it with a compact red dot since that suits the rifle's quick-handling nature.
Can the Trailblazer Pivot fire while it's folded?
No, and that's by design. The Pivot will not fire in the folded position and cannot be folded with a magazine inserted, so there's no way to close it up on a loaded gun. It also includes a manual safety for an added layer of security during handling and transport.
