Gold Rush! Melik’s Surprisingly Affordable Gold Pistol

Please respect the effort it took us to NOT title this article “Melik Kelikimaka.” (Christmas songs and references to same must wait until August, per the rules.)

All that glisters is not (necessarily) gold, but the Turkish Melik GOLD 9mm Pistol certainly is. Imported from Derya’s cutting-edge facility in Türkiye, this exquisite variant elevates craftsmanship and style, blending timeless sophistication with uncompromising functionality … and it’s a lot more affordable than its opulent appearance might make you think.

The Derya Melik GOLD 9mm is a masterpiece of design and engineering, boasting a polished nickel finish accentuated by luxurious gold details, including a radiant gold-polished 4.9-inch barrel.

Chambered in 9mm with a 17+1 round capacity (15+1 and 10+1 options available), it excels in sport shooting, self-defense, and as a coveted collector’s piece due to its refined, elegant aesthetic. Offering the precision of single action for sport shooting and the readiness of double action for self-defense, your Melik GOLD lets you switch between modes to match your scenario, ensuring you’re always equipped for accuracy or quick engagement.

Featuring fully ambidextrous controls, your Melik GOLD purchase includes a premium hard case, DERYA-branded case with a user manual, WTTA flyer, high-capacity magazine, cleaning rod, and gun brush for complete readiness. Built for durability and precision, this pistol is not merely a firearm but a legacy piece, crafted to be treasured for generations.

“We are honored to unveil the Melik GOLD 9mm, a testament to Derya’s dedication to artistry and innovation,” said Dustin Jones. “This variant is more than a pistol—it’s a symbol of elegance and a heritage of unparalleled craftsmanship.”

The Melik GOLD 9mm is now available through Derya’s trusted distributors: Lipsey’s, Sports South, and RSR. MSRP is $$699; for more information, visit https://derya.us/melik-GOLD/.
