After watching the Derya Arms DY9 segments, I was so impressed with the quality that I searched their website for hammer fired handguns. As soon as I saw the Melik M9, I was smitten. Bought mine 29 AUG for $287.00 before FFL and shipping. At the range it took everything (FMJ, HP, 115gr-147gr) flawlessly. It's every bit as well made as my Girsan MC1484G. Your reviews carry a lot of weight with me, soldier 👍👍👍.

The video with the dremeled Melik you’re referring to is mine. It’s definitely not just coating missing. There are visible striations from grinding and the edges are clearly crooked. There certainly are many happy customers as well, but they clearly let a very sketchy pistol leave their factory, too.

@GBGuns 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for clarifying. One of our Patrons has a black one and he said the inside is all black which confirms what you're saying. Have you contacted customer service? My experiences with RIA customer service have not been great, but maybe Derya USA has different staff and policies.

@@GBGuns I have indeed contacted them. They weren’t extremely fast/responsive initially but based on the photos I sent ultimately did agree to take it back. They said to expect a 4-6 week turnaround time so I’m just waiting.

@@hobofactory Ooof, that is a long time, but makes sense for an early import. If we were five years into these pistols being on the market I'd expect quicker, but right now I bet everything coming in has been presold through distribution.

Great video as always. I notice that this gun has the enlarged hammer pin of the 92fs. This is the first time I have seen that on a clone. The enlarged hammer pin and corresponding channel in the slide were added by Beretta to prevent the slide from flying back at the shooters face if the slide fails. That modification is the "s" in 92fs.

@GBGuns 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for adding that detail. Although I trained a lot with the M9 and was an armorer, that doesn't mean I knew the lineage. I was hoping someone from the audience could contribute more details like this.

Nice table top. That pistol shop in the 2 tone with the wooden grips. I opted for the classic look on the 2 that I purchased. It literally in all ways except for the roll marks is a Beretta.

Looks like it has the modified hammer pivot pin and groove in the slide of the 92FS model. Also looks like it has the later modified locking block too. The Girsan regard does not. The Girsan/Beretta blocks and slides are not interchangeable; looks like these might be.

I haven't had opportunity to shoot this gun but I have been able to look at it up close and inspect it and I did not find the quality issues the other youtiber claimed and it was definitely not a trash class firearm. What I was able to see and feel was a excellent made firearm. No it wasn't a 1000 dollar quality firearm, but fkr the price, it's quality and its workmanship far exceeded fhe price and did so by a longshot! Can't wait to fire this firearm and honestly, I will probably own it very soon . Thank you for this trusted review!

I like that it appears that the angle of the “dust cover” (hate that term on pistols) is not as extreme as the 92fs. It’s like they knew that it ruined the lines of the gun when beretta made that change

I’ve been impressed with derya products lately. Usually skeptical of Turkish guns (or at least the q/c on what’s imported). Between the Glock gen 3 clones and the Ar shotguns, they look like they have good quality at a great price. I’d love to see someone discuss the 12 ga derya’s. Maybe do a 500 rd burn down on one.

Cat to English translation: "Stick to the original, get a Beretta!" 😂 Excellent objective review as always, keep it up!

But I'm looking forward to the range day/what's for dinner test. Cheers!

Nice. They got tired of copying Glock and its daughters, they got tired of copying 1911's and GP35, so they are now making Beretta 92 clones. Even the most anoying features are there! Why no Picatinny and that integral front sight? I like the solid hammer and the grooves on the slide, my Tauru's MIM hammer and the large grooves are weird; on the other hand... the groves on the turkish hammer look as fake as the grooves on my Taurus' hammer. Still waiting to see a turkish clone of the russian GSh18. *after two broken trigger return springs I believe these copies should have something like a wolff like return spring, just saying, I don't trust them.
