SHOT Show 2020 Suppressed Polymer Lifecard

Trailblazer makes the Lifecard, a compact, easy-to-conceal firearm that may be a bit slow to deploy. A single shot hideaway. While they work to expand the line, and keep up with demand, the bossman decided he had to address the two great advances in firearms advancement to date. The first was easy: he made the grip out of polymer. This promises to make the already light Lifecard positively wispy, but to also bring the price down a lot.
The second was just for fun: her gave it a threaded muzzle, and installed a suppressor on it.
The one on his display gun is a GSL Technologies Pill Box, a silencer so small it looks like a.....pill box.
God, I love this country.
