The H-D Military uses a fixed-barrel, simple blowback system with a round-profile, 6.75" unthreaded muzzle. This configuration, paired with .22 LR, reflects its target-pistol intent and provides a stable shooting platform.
Its sighting setup includes a fixed blade front sight and an adjustable square-notch rear sight. The slide features rear serrations, with right-side ejection and a right-side extractor for consistent operation.
Controls are period-correct: an external spur hammer, a frame-mounted manual safety with a half-cock notch, and a heel-style magazine release. The serial number is located on the front strap.
Construction is all carbon steel with a blued finish on the slide and frame, complemented by checkered wood grip panels. This example is part of the H-series and carries a 10+1 capacity, with one 10-round magazine included.
