Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy the Trailblazer Lifecard online?
F1Firearms (f1firearms.net) has the Trailblazer Lifecard 22 Long Rifle US Flag Pistol in stock and ready to ship from Flagstaff, AZ.
Is the Lifecard considered a pistol or AOW?
ATF classifies this as a pistol. No NFA paperwork required in most states (check local laws).
What’s the practical accuracy at 25 yards?
From a bench rest, expect 3″ groups with standard velocity .22 LR. This isn’t a target pistol – it’s for close-quarters.
Does it come with a case?
No case included – the whole point is pocket carry. We recommend a silicone-treated sleeve if storing in a wallet.
Can left-handed shooters use this?
Yes, the ambidextrous design works for all shooters. The safety is thumb-operated on either side.
What maintenance does it require?
Clean the barrel after every 50-100 rounds. A drop of oil on the hinge pin monthly keeps action smooth.
Is the US flag engraving durable?
The laser engraving won’t wear off under normal use. We’ve carried a demo unit daily for 6 months with minimal fading.
✅ Same-day shipping from Flagstaff, AZ
