The H-D Military is a fixed-barrel, semi-automatic blowback target pistol chambered in .22 LR with a 10+1 capacity using a single-column magazine. This example is configured with a 6.75-inch barrel and a mixed finish: the barrel and much of the upper/receiver are in-the-white/silver, with portions of the lower frame retaining worn blue.
Target-focused sights include a Patridge front blade and an adjustable square-notch rear sight. The slide has rear vertical serrations for charging; the pistol employs a straightforward takedown system.
Controls are straightforward and period-correct: a left-side manual thumb safety and a forward push-button magazine release. An exposed spur hammer and checkered walnut grips provide a traditional handling feel consistent with later-production H-D Military examples.
The slide is marked "MODEL H-D MILITARY," aligning with the model’s established production features. The line is historically associated with the integrally suppressed HDM variant used by OSS/CIA, underscoring the model’s notable place in mid-century U.S. rimfire pistol history.
