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.

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.

[@v.german11b]

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

[@TexasDog3]

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.

[@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

[@RTTGunsGear]

Good video man! Enough to make me go check out the pistol online!

[@GBGuns]

Details and some deeper thoughts are in the pinned comment.

[@newtquick1757]

Hello from the Helderberg mountains of New York State, thank you for all the great reviews

[@terrybarnes0712]

Great video 👍 Blessings from Kentucky

[@jgpastora]

Turkey is killing it that’s a nice looking pistol

[@TheUpgrade101]

So happy i bought one now

[@cesarmagdaleno6009]

The Diarrhea is a pretty gun. I like the color combination a lot. Too bad we can’t get them in California. Maybe in the near future. Thank you for the review.

[@Lakanen263]

Thanks for the video.

[@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

[@johnhowe4211]

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

[@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 😂.

[@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

[@rogerholmes7295]

Love the husband wufe reviews. Give afemale perspective

[@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.

[@RicoDoes23]

Im requesting a performance review with just factory OEM and Glock OEM mags with 500rds. Pleeease. I'm coming home from across the pond soon and if this good. I'm buying.

[@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.

[@jamesstuart7886]

$200??? Can you spell '' truck gun"" ?

[@bourjuva]

turks are mading bests clones best of world

[@greyshooter186]

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

[@nf1370]

Roast beef and chlorine😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@GBGuns]

Like eating a sandwich poolside?

[@briansouth9325]

​@GBGuns so I thought about that and you hit the nail on the head! Now I can't smell anything different from that while shooting 9mm

[@GBGuns]

Different ammo smells differently

[@Edward-wd5gl]

Does it take Glock mags? 🤓

[@jndriggs]

Mine has worked with Glock, KCI, and Magpul

[@justsayin7937]

Diarrhea arms

[@arch3088]

Another Glock clone. YAWN

[@GBGuns]

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.

[@Freddie206]

Another beautiful firearm from Türkiye ✊

[@jakeco438]

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

[@ryangshooter_1682]

That's about the same Price as a Hi point But butter in every way nice

[@rob6850]

Great video. Gotta love a good deal!

[@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?

[@aalishah272]

Kral kr19 another Turkish clone of glock 19 Probably not in the American market yet

[@irondavy8356]

Teya rocking the spinner! Great job. Glad to see her back in your videos.

[@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

[@JW-AR54]

Sounds like a winner to me.

[@Hvacguy81]

Got this from grabagun for $228 shipped $30FFL fee , and I have no complaints took it to the range put 200 rounds of Tula135gr HP no issues . And they have a rebate that is valid till December 31 for a free 33 round mag … God Bless America!!!

[@Cowboysfan-t5b]

I think I’m about to order it and go pick up at grab a gun. Thanks for the comment I’ll be picking up some of the same ammo you ran as well.

[@ryanpereira8133]

Where did you see that rebate offer?

[@876Buckshots]

I got mine 😎 thank for this review

[@Zachalackalackalack]

So that was a glock 19 mag, right?

[@GBGuns]

Yes, a whole slew of them

[@abigailsworldofsurprises5805]

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

[@chriskylo323]

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

[@tommyj7087]

Not on the MD roster. 😞

[@overipecolt246]

Keep it up 💪

[@sodakhilljack7147]

So how is the trigger? Is it glocky or better? Just never got a clear description of what you thought I’m a trigger whore so that’s important to me, thanks so much good video

[@GBGuns]

Welcome to the channel! I gave a close up of what the trigger travel looks like as well as my best description of it in the tabletop video. In Shooting Impression videos trigger talk is in the "Sights & Trigger Control" segment.

[@sodakhilljack7147]

Thanks so much I appreciate the info I really like how you break up your videos very informative and a great format

[@GBGuns]

@sodakhilljack7147 thank you. The regimen is meant to let each gun speak for itself, but also each review can be weighed against the review of another gun.

[@BranniganCarter]

I must ask, has anyone tried +P ammo and did it explode 🤣
