Derya Arms Rock Island DY9 Shooting Impressions

[@GBGuns]

*Note: Grabagun, from whom I purchased this lists a 3.86" barrel model, but the model I received, and manufacturer spec is 4". Full review with specs, pricing, sources: www.gbgunsdepot.com/post/rock-island-derya-arms-dy9

[@DA-rm5bh]

I've heard several times that when times are good for firearm dealers, Grabagun treats customers like crap. Of course when they are hurting for sales, they sing a different tune. I also heard from a very trustworthy person that he made an order for magazines that was accepted, confirmed and set for shipping. a day later he was told the item was out of stock. When the person called and respectfully questioned how this happened, the agent was nice but didn't have an answer. No big deal. A month later, he attempted to place another order and was informed that Grabagun would not deal with "a person like you." I was shown the entire email chain. Seems like Grabagun is like Cheaper than Dirt...totally lacking in integrity.

I think all of of them are 4" bbl length. A friend of mine wife has this gun and it shoots okay. She bought it for 218 USD FWIW

That's a cool video. Appreciated!

[@jimchambers7548]

Definitely cool pistol

[@chriskylo323]

It’s awesome to see a manufacturer actually care about their product enough to take the time and watch the reviews and feedback from the customers and firearms community.

Evet ülkemizde üretilen silaha bizler de görece kolay ve ulaşılabilir fiyata ulaşıp çeşitli tip mühimmatlar ile denemesini yapıp içerik üretmek isterdik. Amerikan toplumu bu açıdan çok şanslı.

[@TheOzSr]

@@burakh.8670 Çok doğru. O da değişecek elbet bir gün. Derya iyi silah yapmış ve yurtdışı fiyatıyla aynı fiyata iç piyasaya veriyor. Diğerleri gibi arada 100 dolar fark yok. En azından bunun için bile teşekkür ederiz. Ayrıca kimi izlesem nutku tutuluyor çok harika silah.

Turkey is manufacturing excellent handguns. Starting with Canik, Sarsilmaz SAR, Tisas, Girsan, Stoeger, among others. A now this Derya Arms.

[@CommentingTheTruth]

Every turkish gun I've ran into is phenomenal!

[@nascarmarcus8532]

I love how you both took turns because guns shoot an feel different for other ppl

[@waqarhussain9012]

Turkish Firearms are coming good. No any issue in operation, build looks good, number of things in the box. Affordable. 10/10 for a new shooter

[@zs1we325]

Thank you for the review, much appreciated. There arent many reviews in English on the Derya DY9 and you took the time to fully review it. Happy shooting take care. From SA

For a second or two, I thought you were the guy from the youtube channel "Military Arms Channel", I realised that wasn't the case. You weren't whining.

Another beautiful firearm from Türkiye ✊

[@JackKarrde1]

Thank you for this. A local gunstore has one of these I been considering. By showing me what this firearm can do. So far ir seems impressive and the price point makes is appealing as I am on a budget.

Thanks for the video.

[@chriskylo323]

Hey found your range report awesome thx again for the review!!

[@JW-AR54]

Sounds like a winner to me.

[@luiscardona2379]

I got it $199 from grab a gun. It looks really good feels pretty good in hand. With the sights, I noticed I have to aim a little bit higher and with this video you guys made I can confirm that! Ahh and trigger is heavy. Feels like 10 pounds 😂. It doesn’t like steel ammo. Tried 4 different mags they all fail go extract with steel.

[@plantguy100]

Graham, looks like you tried all Glock 19/Glock 19 pattern mags? Rock Island told me the gun could also use 17 round Glock 17 mags, which would fit flush with the magwell rather than being recessed inside. I do wonder though how they will work out because of the shape of the magwell. As an aside, I just watched a fellow review the G Force RPX-9 Exodus, another Glock 19 clone from Turkey. It would not run 124 grain ammo in Glock branded mags, but worked fine with KCI and Magpul mags, which is a surprising result. In any event, with a 6.3 lbs trigger, I'm interested in the DY9's trigger quality. Sounds like it's similar to a standard Glock 19 trigger and is thus just "OK," but not particularly refined? I'm not knocking the gun at all given its price, just wondering if the DY9 is more appropriate for new shooters rather than those who already have a collection and are looking for both refinement and value. Certainly the Tisas PX-9 among others would be a pistol which offers both. From what I've learned, Derya is "on the ball" and I expect them to continue to improve their product. Thank you for the review!

[@GBGuns]

The Extar magazine was a 17rd

[@leslieclanton348]

I found this video very refreshing by having a female point of view on testing a firearm,better than some of these sidewalk commandos that post videos and they have to wear gloves,some are really hilarious !!!!!!!

[@GBGuns]

Welcome to the channel!

[@gedocowboy8484]

Great stuff. I would run out and get one tomorrow if California gave me the privilege to buy one. It reminds me of the FMK. I appreciate the tip on the gripping with the pinky when using extensions. I never heard that before.

[@GBGuns]

You mean if California recognized your right to buy one.

Great video bruh. Is this a Turkish Hi Point, LOL!

[@Steve-fi8bb]

I noticed in your 124 gr test that you changed guns to a Q100 Mk23. In the 115 gr test you used your K100 Mk12. Have you tested some of the 115 gr rounds in the Mk23 to see if they get the same velocity as they had in the Mk12?

[@Angelbonilla1982]

Gonna buy today!!

[@kadikoydekiboga]

good pistol price and quality

[@abigailsworldofsurprises5805]

My next new gun. Also if you can I would like to see how the GForce Rapture does, thank you

[@stansiac]

I have a Glock 19 Gen5 and was disappointed to find the standard 15 round magazine does NOT work in the DY9. It's about a 1/4inch too short, so you cannot chamber a round. However the DY9 generic 15 round magazine does work in a Glock 19 Gen 5. I would expect the Glock 17 magazine will work as I believe it is about 1/4 inch longer than the 19 magazine. I don't have a Glock 17 15 round mag to try... Any others see this same issue?

[@JD-tn5lz]

In this age of manufacturing, there is no reason why any manufacturer producing an item that they didn't develop should be unreliable...hence, Turkish clone-esque Glock copies at a lower price. So yeah, no surprise here. HOWEVER...I just purchased an IWI Masada, brand new in box, for just over $300. It's reasonable for most to find either CZs and Masadas for sub-$400. The point is, none of us are so broke that a $100 difference should matter when choosing a lifesaving tool. What do you get when you spend that little more? Legacy, pride of ownership, confidence in long-term reliability, and trust in that when or if your weapon breaks, IWI or CZ (or for that matter, most mainline manufacturers) will still be around fifteen years from now. Seriously, your Kia may run just fine now, but you don't see any twenty year old Kias around the same way you see Forty-year old Toyotas. Invest, don't spend. An easy pass on a Kia of a gun.

[@TheGarry1962]

Wow! You both have very valid points about the low shooting. I like it as a self defense weapon, heavy trigger and all. Nice grip design. How about a selfish review of the GForce Exodus. Yes, another Glock clone.

[@GBGuns]

I've been talking with GForce about getting a pistol in for review.

[@overipecolt246]

Keep it up 💪

[@moonman19]

a new Turkish company

[@GBGuns]

They've been around a bit, and I believe their shotguns have been in the US before, but this is the first of their handguns I've seen on the US market.

[@markchambers2812]

I’d be interested if the shooting accuracy. Good luck 👍 improves

[@GBGuns]

Most pistols are mechanically more accurate that most humans can take advantage of. My struggle with this gun comes down mostly to the sights being a bit large for shooting groups.

[@josephhenderson7044]

Can I ask what decision did y’all come to over all on which meg and ammo that worked best with this gun??

[@Rayvisin]

I would like to see this gun with a glock 17 mag. With magwell do you get 17 rounds flush?

[@GBGuns]

The Extar magazine is 17rd

[@Rayvisin]

@@GBGuns how far does it stick? I can't see it with the hand over. Lol

[@jndriggs]

The 17rd mag is pretty much flush with the lowest part of the flared mag well. And part of the mag is exposed in back where if curves up. I actually like the way it looks but I can see it bothering some folks.

[@Rayvisin]

@@jndriggs nice! I just got one. Seems like a steal

Thanks for bringing us the firearms that you don't see in every gun shop. Very interesting and informative. 🫡👍👍

[@believe722]

👍

[@danc3693]

So how difficult is it to get spare factory mags? Maybe that's answered somewhere in the comments and I missed it.

[@GBGuns]

I don't know for sure, but since it accepts Glock-pattern magazines you can find magazines anywhere.

[@danc3693]

@ Thanks. I’m purchasing my first handgun and I find it concerning its difficult to find in-stock OEM manufactured basic accessories.

[@jakeco438]

Anyone get a holster for this? Will a Glock 19 holster fit?

[@kfelix2934]

yes glock holster will work or any adjustable holster. You might need to trim or modify certain holster but for the most part a G19X is the exact dimension . 1st time I shot one, I thought it was a glock FWIW. Also glock magazines are better and more reliable, if you shoot 147gr ammo you might have jams with JHP, YMMV

[@andrewbrinkley974]

I saw where a blackhawk holster works well with this gun. They have nice holsters.

Then why did you watch and comment?

[@DA-rm5bh]

GB....you have one of the 2-3 channels that are completely trustworthy. You should be wary of supporting whining, thin-skinned hypocrites like David at Humble Marksman. A couple months ago, while at Shotshow, Humble (on his own video) was seen flagging someone in the head several times. When this was pointed out, he lied about it over and over. When he finally realized it was crystal clear on his own video, Davey then made excuses for it....I'm serious, When several comments pointed out there were no excuses for flagging someone because "people are not permitted to have a loaded gun at the show," Davey resorted to attacking those commenters. He should grow up and admit his mistakes.

[@RA-xl8si]

I agree completely about Humble Crybaby. As for Grabagun, I've heard mixed reviews. Some love them and some not so much.
