In 2010, we came up with this crazy idea to make a pistol that could fit in the smallest of places (including popular mint candy tins) based on an online article about building compact survival/utility kits. That moment of inspiration led us to talk with many people from collectors to serious gun enthusiasts and they all liked the idea, simply because it was different. After years of work, the LifeCard® pistol finally became a reality, but that was just the start.
