The name Melik means "king" in Turkish, and Derya leaned into that fully with this Gold TiN variant. Manufactured at Derya's facility in Turkiye and imported through Lipsey's, the Melik is built around a DA/SA hammer-fired design with a recoil-delayed locking block system, which should feel familiar to anyone who's spent time behind a Beretta 92-pattern pistol. The action is smooth in both modes, with a longer double-action first pull and a crisp, lighter single-action follow-up for every shot after.
What makes this specific model stand out is the finish combination. The 4.9-inch barrel is treated with Titanium Nitride (TiN), giving it that unmistakable gold color along with real-world benefits: TiN is extremely hard, reduces friction, and resists corrosion well. The slide is forged 4140 steel finished in black Melonite, which is a proper in-the-metal surface treatment rather than a coating, so it won't add to the dimensions or wear off the way a painted finish can. The frame is machined from a solid block of 7075 aluminum, which is the same aluminum spec used in high-strength aerospace and defense applications.
The slide-mounted safety doubles as a decocker, so you can safely lower the hammer on a chambered round without dry-firing. Controls are ambidextrous, and the fixed sights give you a no-fuss aiming setup right out of the box. At about 2 pounds unloaded and 8.4 inches overall, this is a full-size pistol in every sense, and it handles like one.
This 10+1 capacity version is the right fit where higher-capacity magazines aren't an option. It ships with one 10-round magazine, a hard case, cleaning rod, gun brush, and user manual, so you're set to go from day one. Whether you're a range shooter who appreciates a DA/SA platform, a collector drawn to the distinctive gold-and-black finish, or someone who just wants a well-built 9mm with some personality, the Melik Gold TiN delivers on all fronts.
The Melik shares the same basic DA/SA hammer-fired platform and locking block system as the Beretta 92, so the manual of arms will feel very familiar. That said, the two are not parts-interchangeable internally, and the frame dimensions differ slightly. One notable plus: Beretta 92-pattern magazines are widely available and will fit the Melik's magazine well.
Titanium Nitride (TiN) is a ceramic-like coating applied to the barrel that dramatically increases surface hardness and reduces friction between the barrel and locking block. Beyond the eye-catching gold color, it improves wear resistance and offers solid corrosion protection. It's the same type of treatment used on high-end cutting tools and machine parts, so it's not just cosmetic.
The slide-mounted safety lever also functions as a decocker. When you press it down, it safely lowers the hammer on a chambered round without firing the gun, putting you in double-action mode for the first shot. If you leave the lever in the down position, the pistol stays on safe with the trigger disengaged. Flipping it back up returns you to single-action-ready operation.
The Melik is well-suited to range sessions. The full-size 4.9-inch barrel provides a longer sight radius and helps manage recoil comfortably, and the DA/SA trigger gives you two distinct pull weights to work with depending on the drill. Reviews of the platform consistently point to a better-than-expected trigger feel in both modes and soft recoil for a 9mm of this size.
The Melik's frame is machined from a solid block of 7075 aluminum, which is one of the stronger aluminum alloys in common use. It's the same spec used in high-strength structural and aerospace applications. The material is then finished with a black anodized treatment for corrosion resistance. This is a more involved construction method than casting and results in a tight, precise frame.
The Melik is manufactured at Derya's facility in Turkiye and imported into the US through Lipsey's, one of the country's largest and most established firearms distributors. Derya also has operations headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, but this model's MPN ending in "TR" confirms it was made in Turkiye.
