The Derya DY9Z is a striker-fired 9mm pistol in a slim, micro-compact frame, here in black Melonite with a 3.5-inch barrel and 15+1 capacity (Derya part no. DY9Z.TR). The slide is cut for RMSc-footprint red dots, so a compact optic mounts directly, and fixed sights are there if you run it without one. It ships with the Second Wind Trigger, Derya‘s in-house design with short pre-travel, a defined wall and a crisp reset, along with changeable backstraps in small, medium and large. Built-in safeties include a firing pin block and an anti-drop trigger block. For concealed carry, home defense or range use, it puts 15 rounds in a carry-size gun.
