The LifeCard firearm stands out as one of the most innovative and subtle handguns currently available. Produced by Trailblazer Arms, this one-shot, .22 caliber gun is designed for ultimate portability and secrecy, making it a compelling option for people in search of an easily hidden self-defense option.

At first glance, the LifeCard doesn’t resemble a standard handgun. When in its folded state, it measures a mere 3.375 inches in length, and 2.125 inches tall, and 0.5 inches thick—roughly as big as a stack of credit cards. Weighing in at only 7 ounces, it is extremely light and can conveniently be slipped into a pouch, cardholder, or tiny bag without being noticed.

Even with its small size, the LifeCard is built with durability in mind. The body and handle are made of treated aluminum, while the barrel, and firing mechanism are made from steel. These materials guarantees that the handgun is both robust and reliable, able to endure regular use and exposure to the elements.

The LifeCard is a one-shot gun, which means it holds one round of .22 handguns-caliber ammo at a time. While this restricts its capacity compared to typical guns, it’s a trade-off that allows for its exceptional ease of carry. The weapon further has a built-in storage compartment able to store four extra bullets, providing quick access to extra ammunition if required.

A key feature of the LifeCard is its safety mechanism. The firearm will not fire when in its folded position, providing an additional safety measure when carried. To use the firearm, you must first unfold it, and then the user must manually cock the hammer. This intentional action helps to prevent accidental discharge and guarantees the user is ready to fire.

The LifeCard is not intended to replace traditional guns for personal protection, but rather to act as a last-resort option when no other weapons are accessible. Its compact form, ease of concealment, and simple operation make it an appealing choice for individuals who value concealment and portability in a firearm.
