Overview

The modern defensive shooter values predictable mechanics, stout construction, and controls that work from either hand. For those priorities, a recoil-delayed semi-auto with a thoughtful double-action trigger architecture can be a strong choice for home or duty carry.

DERYA ARMS Melik delivers a recoil-delayed locking block system in a double action design, pairing a lightweight aluminum frame with a 4140 steel slide and an ambidextrous safety for versatile carry and operation.

Design & handling

The Melik’s double action design gives a longer, heavier first pull for an added layer of safe engagement, followed by a shorter follow-up stroke—an arrangement many defensive shooters prefer for deliberate first-shot safety without needing an external decocker. The recoil-delayed locking block system moderates slide velocity during cycling, reducing felt recoil impulse and improving follow-up shot recovery when compared to some straight-blowback designs.

Ambidextrous controls

Ambidextrous safety levers make the Melik approachable for left- and right-handed shooters and for transitions during dynamic work. That control layout is practical for household defense, team use, or law-enforcement duty where handedness can change under stress.

Construction & reliability

An aluminum frame reduces carry weight while maintaining a solid platform for ergonomics and sight alignment. The 4140 steel slide offers resilience under repeated service-level use and is a common, proven material choice for duty firearms.
