The Derya DY12 California-Compliant is a 12 gauge semi-auto shotgun (Derya part no. DY1220CAUS) built to the same detachable-magazine, tactical layout as the standard DY12, configured to meet California’s point-of-sale requirements. The 20-inch barrel and 3-inch chamber give it the same close-range handling and load versatility as the standard model, while flip-up front and rear sights with adjustable settings keep aiming fast without an optic. It ships with three 5-round magazines and a black synthetic stock and receiver built for rugged, low-maintenance use. This configuration lets California shooters legally purchase the same detachable-magazine 12 gauge platform sold nationwide.
