Key Features
- Limited Run of 500 Units — Each Melik is individually numbered, making it a true collector-grade firearm. Per Derya, once these are gone, they’re gone.
- Nickel Finish with Gold Accents & Engraving — The high-polish nickel resists corrosion while the gold-filled engraving adds an heirloom-quality look. This isn’t a safe queen, but it sure looks like one.
- Double/Single Action Trigger with Thumb Safety — The DA/SA action gives you a long, deliberate first pull and crisp follow-ups. The frame-mounted thumb safety is easy to reach for right-handed shooters.
- Beretta 92 Magazine Compatibility — You can use widely available Beretta 92 15-round magazines, making spare mags easy to find and often cheaper than proprietary options.
- Complete Kit Included — Ships with one magazine, a padded case, Derya-branded bag, manual, WTTA flyer, cleaning rod, and brush. Everything you need to get started.
Who It’s For
This pistol is built for the shooter who values artistry as much as function. It’s a natural fit for collectors who want a limited-edition 9mm that will hold its value, or for experienced shooters looking for a range gun with old-world charm. Beginners will appreciate the simple manual of arms and the ability to use common magazines. Families who shoot together will find it a conversation piece at the range — something different from the sea of black pistols.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Stunning nickel and gold finish that turns heads; limited run of 500 means exclusivity; accepts Beretta 92 mags for easy spare sourcing; complete kit saves you from buying extras.
Cons: The fixed sights are basic and not adjustable for windage or elevation. If you prefer modern fiber-optic or night sights, you’ll need to budget for a gunsmith upgrade.

FAQ
What magazines does the Derya Melik use?
The Melik accepts standard Beretta 92 15-round magazines. They are widely available and often more affordable than proprietary mags.
Is this pistol safe for a new shooter?
Yes. The double-action first pull is long and deliberate, which helps prevent accidental discharges. The thumb safety adds another layer of control. Always follow the four firearm safety rules.
Can I change the sights?
The sights are fixed (non-adjustable) but can be replaced by a gunsmith if you prefer night sights or a different front post. The dovetail is standard size for Beretta 92 pattern sights.
How many rounds does it hold?
It comes with one 15-round magazine, giving you 15+1 capacity. Some states may have magazine capacity restrictions — please check local laws before ordering.
Is the nickel finish durable?
Nickel is naturally corrosion-resistant and harder than many blued finishes. However, it can show holster wear over time. Regular cleaning and proper storage will keep it looking sharp.
