Tactical Assessment

The H‑D Military design is known for straightforward controls and a serviceable ergonomics package for defensive use and familiarization drills. As a trade-in, the unit’s “minor blemishes” should be cosmetic only; mechanically sound parts and proper headspace are the critical criteria for safe operation. The single included magazine reduces immediate accessory cost but plan to add at least one spare mag for training and redundancy.

What to verify on inspection

Check the barrel crown for pitting, inspect the slide rails for excessive wear, and confirm the action cycles cleanly. Since caliber is not provided, confirm chambering visually and via the seller page prior to purchase. Function-test with inert snap caps if available, and follow normal safety protocols.
