The Mod. D uses a single cylindrical, tip-up barrel measuring 3.3 in, operated by a sliding release. The break-open design and single-action-only operation make loading straightforward, with a capacity of one round.
Construction is all-steel for the barrel and frame with a matte dark gray/black finish. The pistol is equipped with black molded polymer birdshead grips that carry Cobray medallions, providing a recognizable aesthetic and firm hold.
Controls include an external spur hammer with serrations and a cross-bolt safety. The barrel is prominently marked with the instruction "SAFETY ON BEFORE LOADING," and the left grip panel reads "PUSH FLUSH FOR SAFE" for clear, built-in safety guidance.
Sighting is simple and rugged, with a fixed front blade and no dedicated rear sight. Barrel markings read "FMJ DUCKTOWN, TN" and "MOD. D. CAL. .45," confirming maker, location, and caliber.
