The H-D Military uses a blowback-operated, single-action system with a fixed, non-tilting barrel — a configuration favored for consistent alignment and stability. Its 6.75-inch heavy, round-profile barrel supports steady handling and precise shot placement.
Target-focused sights include a Patridge front blade and an adjustable square-notch rear, giving the shooter the ability to fine-tune elevation and windage. Vertical rear serrations on the blued slide aid in confident manipulation.
Controls and ergonomics were designed to emulate U.S. service pistols, with a manual thumb safety, a smooth curved trigger, and an external spur hammer. Checkered wood grip panels provide a secure hold.
Construction is robust, with a blued carbon steel frame and receiver. This example was manufactured in New Haven, Connecticut, and offers a 10+1 capacity using the included 10-round magazine.
