United Gunworks Nomad
The Nomad (UG-5) is United Gunworks’ everyday full-size 2011 — “built to be carried,” in the company’s words, and the most accessible way into a pistol whose barrel, slide and frame are all cut, finished and inspected under one roof in Peoria, Arizona. A 4.5-inch match-grade barrel with a single port at the muzzle and a port-cut slide give it a touch of muzzle control without a compensator.
It sits on a full-size steel frame with a light-ready rail, an MJD carbon-fiber-infused polymer grip module with aggressive pyramid texture (black or FDE), a high-ride beavertail grip safety, a flat-face trigger with a 2 to 3 lb break and clean reset, a green fiber-optic front sight with a serrated black rear, and UGW’s modular optic-plate system with your choice of RMR, DeltaPoint Pro, RMSc or ACRO plate included. Copper accents on the hammer and grip hardware set off the black PVD finish. Three magazines, a range bag and inspection paperwork are in the box.
Cajun Gun And Gear is the only authorized United Gunworks dealer in Louisiana. Nomad pistols in stock are listed below; if none are showing, call 337.999.0373 and we will order one in black or FDE.

Who the Nomad is for
Shooters who want a full-size, American-machined 2011 for carry, duty and the range at the lowest price in the United Gunworks lineup. If you want the ultra-ported island barrel and low-mass slide, step up to the Alpha; if you need a compact, see the Phantom.
