Compact, simple and purpose-built, a folding single-shot can be the most practical option for ultralight field carry, survival kits, or an inexpensive range trainer. The design trade-offs in a low-cost folding gun are straightforward: fewer features, lighter weight, and an emphasis on portability over rapid follow-up shots.

AMERICAN TACTICAL IMPORTS NOMAD

The AMERICAN TACTICAL IMPORTS NOMAD is a budget-conscious Single Shot offering from Ati with a 3-inch chamber and a folding action that collapses into a short, slim package for transport. Priced at $118.99, the Nomad gives up complex features in exchange for a compact footprint: it includes an extractor but does not have an ejector, and the fore-end has a bottom cut-out so the trigger guard nests inside when folded.

Design and folding action

The Nomad’s folding mechanism unlocks the action so the barrel and fore-end swing back toward the buttstock. That simple kinematic is the heart of its portability: once folded, the package is short and slim enough to stash in a pack or kit. The extractor will lift spent brass for manual removal, but without an ejector the shooter must remove cases by hand—important to know for field use and quick reload expectations.

Materials and form factor

As an Ati product listed under Single Shot with model options labeled Various, expect basic furniture and a utilitarian finish rather than premium coatings or advanced optics-ready rails. That makes the Nomad attractive for users who want a no-frills survival or training piece without a large investment.

Practical applications and handling

Where the Nomad shines is in scenarios that prioritize space and simplicity: trail packs, emergency kits, or a low-cost entry into single-shot marksmanship. Because the model does not specify caliber on the product sheet, confirm chambering on the retailer page before purchasing and select ammunition accordingly. Routine maintenance should include cleaning the extractor area and verifying the folding latch for secure lockup.

Buying considerations

At $118.99 the AMERICAN TACTICAL IMPORTS NOMAD represents a clear value proposition for minimalist users. Verify the exact model variant, confirm caliber, and remember the extractor/no-ejector detail when assessing whether its compact folding design fits your mission profile. Check current availability on the product page, where you can view product details and proceed to purchase through the retailer.
