Derya Arms Melik (Beretta 92 Clone)

Thank you for speaking in English. Looking at getting this guy.

[@Razor-gx2dq]

So today I took the Melik to the range to compare directly to a real Beretta 92FS, my experience with both firearms was great and I shot them well. That being said the trigger on the Melik does not feel as good compared to the Beretta, its not a huge difference but its something to take note of if you really like good triggers, both guns were reliable I shot 115 grain Magtec 9mm and a total of 50 rounds per gun out of Mec-Gar 18 round magazines (I know its not a lot but I'm not made of money). The sights on both guns are largely the same except the Melik has a orange front sight post to the Berettas white front post. Overall my experience with the Melik compared to the Beretta was very positive especially since the Melik is much cheaper than a 92FS at MSRP. Now parts compatibility is complicated some things work others dont. Here is what I know for sure works in the Melik: magazines, guide rod, guide rod spring, barrel and locking block assembly. What I know doesn't work: safety lever. Anything else, your guess is as good as mine.

[@Guntalkz]

@@Razor-gx2dq this is good information thank you. I haven’t had the opportunity yet to compare the two. Not made of money either.

if its correct beretta 92 clone you will be able to put in a 14lb hammer spring or G model kit to get were it will work for you

[@sergeantwilliepete2252]

It's double action, you don't holster it with the safety on.

[@Guntalkz]

@@sergeantwilliepete2252 you are right. But it’s also a single action.

[@Bobdixon_Moonvarga_Dancer_III]

@@Guntalkzis it possible to carry it condition one cocked and locked?

[@DarkPhoenixTSi]

@@Bobdixon_Moonvarga_Dancer_III No. Engaging the safety automatically decocks it.

[@showtime2629]

Even if you do have the safety on, it is super intuitive to disengage the safety when you are grabbing the gun, not when you are presenting it.

[@TheChamp789]

He learned to shoot it in the military. They require him to use the safety.

[@Sandhill1988]

Good quick little presentation right to the point. I just ordered one of those off of Bud's gun shop for $280 delivered 😮. Should have it in my hand in about a week. I'm a big fan of the Turkish firearms so I know this is going to be a winner we'll call it a sleeper right now. All the negatives that you brought up were basically personal preference that can be overcome with training as you pointed out. You're probably more into the more modern striker fired pistols, at least that's what I'm getting from your take on it. BTW the open slide design is actually a really good thing especially on a service combat pistol because you'll never get a stovepipe, seriously enhances reliability and this literally is one if not the most reliable proven combat pistol design in the world. I've owned M9's and 92 FS for over 30 years love to have another one but don't see the value of shelling out that kind of coin especially when high-quality exact clones like these are around. Literally if you blindfolded someone and handed them they wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Or one better yet if you change the markings on the slide you wouldn't know either. Anyway good job stay safe.

[@Guntalkz]

@@Sandhill1988 thanks for the comment. I agree that it is a very reliable platform. There are pros and cons to all guns. If I were to pick a favorite for me would be 1911. I

[@Sandhill1988]

@@Guntalkz yup I love my 1911's too. But you do realize that it's not a real 1911 unless It's chambered in 45 acp.... anything else is blasphemous ;-)).

[@FrankH-d6x]

That price is crazy. You could buy two of these or one Beretta, so that's exactly what I did, lol. No kidding, I grabbed a few on GB for $280 all in, transfer and everything. After close inspection, these damn things are nice!! They did come caked in oil, that's good, so when cleaned up I didn't see any suspect parts or pitting/compromised metal. ONE thing, and maybe you can answer this, the barrel does have just a very slight bit of wiggle, how about yours? maybe it's suppose to. I am first time Beretta (clone) owner although have shot the 96A1 quite a bit, and loved it.

[@cherokeecowboy7558]

Thx for the review!

[@ekzoskelitN]

I thought about freedom the other day. lol Where I'm from, S. Korea, a citizen has to go on with their day unarmed, knowing that on the border, is another country that has clearly stated their intentions. Yes, there's a lot of protocol to address defense but I love that even as an immigrant, I am able to CC and allowed to defend myself, here in the US. The price on this Melik is so appealing but like you, I don't like breaking grip for controls. Still want a beretta/clone tho. that is the most badass "pink" "hawaiian" shirt I've ever seen.

[@PharmerJn]

The safety/decocker should be mounted on the frame. Very few people can reach it on the slide. Almost everyone would be able to reach it with a shooting grip if it was on the frame.

[@tacta-puffs]

Idk about this particular pistol. But iv carried a Beretta safety off hammer down for about 15 years. New Berettas (m9a4) it's decocker only.

[@DarkPhoenixTSi]

They still offer the F models for all of the 92 models with the slide mounted safety lever.

[@Ten_Mil_Will]

You sure it isn't pronounced "Me Like" 😁 These are on sale, SO CHEAP (PSA), right now. It is hard not to do it BUT owning n M9A3 makes it hard to do when I need other stuff

[@billmoyer3254]

You can burn your hands on the barrel after mag dumps, The safety on slide is not optimal at all. Folks with small hands will not like finger placement on the trigger.
