Derya Melik 9MM 4 9 Inch Black Melonite Slide
About this product
This is a plain black configuration of the Derya Arms Melik, a 9mm DA/SA pistol styled after the Beretta 92 platform, built with a 4.9-inch black Melonite-finished steel slide and an aluminum frame. Derya's U.S. site, derya.us, doesn't list retail pricing directly, and this exact plain-black SKU's price couldn't be pulled from search snippets during this research pass — the price shown reflects Bud's Gun Shop's closest catalog match for a comparably configured Melik model, so treat it as a close reference point rather than a manufacturer-confirmed figure for this precise variant.
How does this configuration differ from Derya's two-tone or gold-finished Melik models?
Derya sells the Melik line in several finish combinations, including two-tone (silver slide, black frame) and gold TiN-accented variants at different price points; this listing is the all-black configuration, which is typically the base finish option in the lineup. The underlying mechanics — DA/SA action, slide-mounted decocker, Beretta 92-pattern magazine compatibility — carry across all Melik finish variants.
What's the general handling and capacity like?
Melik pistols in this size class typically ship with capacities ranging from 10 to 17 rounds depending on the specific magazine included with a given SKU; confirm the exact magazine capacity that ships with this particular black-finish listing before ordering, since Derya offers multiple magazine options across the line. The DA/SA trigger and slide-mounted safety/decocker follow the same Beretta 92 manual of arms across every Melik configuration.
Does the magazine capacity affect a California purchase?
California caps detachable magazines at 10 rounds for sale and possession in the state. If this pistol ships with anything above a 10-round magazine, that configuration would exceed the state limit. California also maintains its own roster of handguns cleared for retail sale. Confirm the exact magazine capacity for this specific listing, compliant alternatives, and current roster status directly with your FFL before ordering.
How does delivery work?
As a firearm, the Melik ships to a licensed FFL dealer for pickup, not to your home address, where you'll complete a background check and the standard transfer paperwork.
Because pricing and exact magazine specification for this particular black-finish SKU couldn't be pinned down with full confidence during research, we'd recommend confirming both details directly with us before finalizing your order — the Beretta 92-pattern compatibility and DA/SA handling are well established for the Melik line generally, but the specific numbers on this listing carry more uncertainty than the two-tone 15+1 variant Derya documents more prominently on its own site. That said, the core value proposition — Beretta 92-style handling and magazine compatibility at a friendlier price than an original Beretta — holds across every Melik finish and capacity option Derya currently offers.
Buyers drawn to the plain black finish over Derya's two-tone or gold-accented Melik variants are typically looking for a more understated, duty-style appearance rather than a range showpiece, and the black Melonite coating on the slide offers solid wear and corrosion resistance for a pistol likely to see regular handling and holster use. Since the Melik line shares its fundamental DA/SA mechanics and Beretta 92-pattern magazine compatibility across every finish option Derya offers, choosing between finishes is primarily a cosmetic and budget decision rather than one that affects reliability or handling. If a specific finish, capacity, or accessory bundle matters to you, reach out before ordering so we can confirm the exact configuration behind this listing matches what you're expecting.
FFL transfer required
This item is a firearm and ships only to a licensed FFL dealer, never to a home address. At checkout, enter your preferred dealer as the shipping address, or leave it blank and we will assign a licensed dealer near you at no extra cost. You complete the background check and paperwork with the dealer when you pick up.
California buyers: handguns must be on the California roster for delivery to a California FFL, a Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) and DROS are handled at the dealer, and the 10-day waiting period applies. Out-of-state buyers receive the firearm through their own local FFL under their state's rules.
