The name Melik means "king" in Turkish, and Derya Arms didn't exactly name it modestly. That said, the pistol earns some of the swagger. This particular variant (MPN: 15L.MELIK9.NG.TR) features a Gold TiN-coated 4.9-inch barrel that gives it a distinctive two-tone look against the blacked-out Melonite slide and frame. It's a full-size 9mm built on a 7075 aluminum frame machined from solid block, with a forged 4140 steel slide wearing a true Melonite finish applied in-house at Derya's facility in Turkey. That matters because Melonite isn't a coating sitting on top of the metal, it's a surface treatment that becomes part of the steel itself, making it highly wear and corrosion resistant without changing part dimensions.
The action is double/single action with a slide-mounted decocker/safety that's ambidextrous, so both lefties and righties get the same experience. The first shot fires in double action with a longer, heavier pull, and every round after that is single action with a shorter, crisper break. People who have put rounds through the Melik consistently note how smooth both trigger modes feel, especially as the gun breaks in. The recoil-delayed locking block system helps keep the shooting experience comfortable and controllable during extended range time.
The black polymer grip fills the hand well and the frontstrap and backstrap both feature texturing for a secure hold. Fixed sights keep the package simple and snag-free. At 8.4 inches overall, this isn't a gun you're tucking into a pocket, but for home readiness, range use, or anyone who just appreciates a well-made, hammer-fired 9mm with some visual personality, the Melik delivers a lot for the money. It ships with a 15-round magazine, hard case, cleaning rod, gun brush, and user manual.
TiN stands for Titanium Nitride, a hard ceramic coating that gives the barrel that distinctive gold color. Beyond the looks, TiN is extremely hard and slick, which helps reduce friction and can contribute to easier cleaning. It's the same coating you'll see on quality drill bits and machining tools, so durability is a genuine benefit here, not just a styling choice.
The first shot fires in double action, meaning the trigger pull is longer and heavier as it both cocks and drops the hammer. After that first round, the slide cycles and leaves the hammer cocked, so every subsequent shot fires in single action with a shorter, lighter, crisper pull. The slide-mounted decocker lets you safely lower the hammer without firing, returning the gun to double action for your next first shot.
Magazine compatibility with Beretta 92-pattern magazines is generally reported to work due to similar magazine well dimensions. That said, Derya notes the Melik uses its own ACT MAG magazines, and internal parts are not interchangeable between the two platforms. It's always worth testing any third-party magazine for reliable feeding before trusting it for anything beyond the range.
The Melik is actually a great way to learn a DA/SA platform without a significant investment. The trigger in both modes is notably smooth, and the full-size frame soaks up recoil well, which makes it easier to focus on technique. The ambidextrous decocker/safety is intuitive once you get a feel for it, and the manual of arms is straightforward for anyone willing to spend a little time at the range with it.
Melonite is a ferritic nitrocarburizing surface treatment applied directly to the steel, not a coating sitting on top of it. It penetrates the metal surface, dramatically increasing hardness and corrosion resistance without adding measurable thickness or changing part tolerances. Derya applies it in-house at their facility in Turkey, and it's widely regarded as one of the toughest finishes you can put on a steel firearm component.
The Melik ships with the pistol, one 15-round magazine, a hard case, cleaning rod, gun brush, and a user manual. It's a solid out-of-the-box kit that has everything you need to get to the range and keep the pistol maintained. Additional magazines are readily available through standard firearms retailers.
