The Derya Melik 9mm pistol combines Turkish engineering with premium materials to deliver a full-size service pistol that stands apart from polymer-framed competitors. This striker-fired handgun features an aluminum frame construction that provides enhanced durability and improved recoil management compared to standard polymer designs.
What Makes This Different
The Melik's silver anodized aluminum frame offers superior longevity over polymer alternatives while maintaining manageable weight for extended carry or range sessions. The black Melonite coating on both barrel and slide provides exceptional corrosion resistance and wear protection, rated for over 10,000 rounds of standard pressure ammunition. Dark walnut grip panels add both aesthetic appeal and improved texture for secure handling in various conditions.
