Trailblazer LifeCard 22 WMR 2.5in OD Green Break Action Pistol – 1 Round

Overview

The Trailblazer LifeCard 22 WMR pistol redefines the concept of ultra-compact concealed carry. Measuring just over three inches in overall length and weighing a scant seven ounces, this single-action, credit-card-sized rimfire handgun offers unparalleled portability without sacrificing reliability. Chambered in powerful .22 Magnum (WMR) and featuring a robust break-action design, the LifeCard is the go-anywhere, be-prepared companion for hunters, outdoorsmen, and everyday carriers. Its OD Green finish and matching aluminum grip plates provide both style and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal survival pistol or last-ditch self-defense tool.

Design and Features

At the heart of the LifeCard 22 WMR is its ingenious break-open action, allowing quick insertion and removal of ammunition. The single-shot configuration holds one round of .22 Magnum, offering substantial stopping power in a package smaller than most wallets. Its flat, rectangular profile mimics the size of a credit card, enabling discreet carry in a pocket, pouch, or gear compartment. The olive-drab anodized aluminum frame and matching grip panels provide a rugged finish that resists scratches, dings, and the elements.

Performance and Reliability

Despite its minimal size, the Trailblazer LifeCard delivers consistent accuracy courtesy of its 2.5-inch barrel, which features rifling optimized for .22 WMR projectiles. The break-action mechanism locks securely, ensuring solid lockup and repeatable point-of-aim. While the one-shot capacity may surprise defenders, careful shot placement and the inherent ballistics of the .22 Magnum cartridge yield effective performance out to typical engagement distances of 10–15 feet. The single-action trigger offers a clean, crisp pull for precise shot release.

Construction and Materials

The construction of the LifeCard emphasizes weight savings and durability. The mainframe, barrel block, and grip panels are CNC-machined from high-strength aluminum alloy, then anodized in OD Green to guard against corrosion. The internal firing components are heat-treated steel, offering longevity even under harsh environmental conditions. Weighing only 7 ounces unloaded, the pistol balances lightweight carry with the strength needed to handle the pressures of .22 Magnum ammunition.

Concealed Carry and Portability

Concealment is the LifeCard’s greatest asset. Measuring just 3.375 inches overall and less than 1/4 inch thick when folded, this pistol disappears in a pocket or wallet sleeve. The flat profile eliminates printing and bulk, while the rounded edges prevent snagging. For survivalists and minimalists, the LifeCard fits effortlessly into bug-out kits, camping setups, or concealed-carry holsters specifically designed for credit-card-style firearms. Its compact size also makes it an ideal backup weapon for hunters carrying larger centerfire rifles.

Functionality and Safety

Operation is intuitive: push forward on the release latch, break open the barrel block, insert a single .22 WMR cartridge, close the action, and disengage the hammer safety to fire. The fixed front post sight combined with the integral rear notch allows quick target acquisition at close distances. A manual hammer block safety prevents accidental discharge when the pistol is closed and the hammer is at rest. Routine safety checks and familiarization drills are recommended to ensure swift and safe deployment under stress.

Maintenance and Care

Keeping the Trailblazer LifeCard in top condition requires minimal effort. After firing, break open the action and wipe the barrel, chamber, and frame channels with a high-quality solvent. A thin coat of gun oil on moving parts prevents corrosion and maintains smooth operation. The anodized aluminum exterior resists most wear, but occasional inspection for burrs or debris ensures trouble-free use. The simple design means fewer parts, making disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly straightforward even for beginners.

Ideal Applications

Whether used as an emergency backup, survival pistol, concealed self-defense tool, or novelty piece in a bug-out bag, the LifeCard excels in numerous roles. Hunters appreciate the convenience of a compact rimfire sidearm when trekking into remote areas. Outdoorsmen value the lightweight design for backpacking and wilderness excursions. Civilians seeking a last-resort defensive option turn to the LifeCard’s ultra-slim profile for true deep concealment. Collectors and firearm enthusiasts recognize the LifeCard’s innovative engineering as a standout in modern rimfire design.
