Picked up my first gun, a dy9z and just noticed throughout searching online that there aren’t any specs like mine. Lmk if this is just an early release that I missed or something else. Also, anything you dy9z owners would recommend for me? I’m looking into compact lights and optics and would love recommendations. Thanks!
With the a little hesitation and some Reddit encouragement. I took off the Z Slide that has the tungsten guide rod, and put the Dy9 Island slide on. It went right on easy no forcing, no trying to wiggle it into place. Like it was meant to be there....I loaded up 15rds in the ActMag, into the Dy9Z and took a deep breath, looked at the target and moved my head to the left; as if I was looking around the corner, LOL, and pulled the trigger, Bang. I exhaled as I straightened my head and looked at the target and dead on. Pulled the trigger again and again, and damm if I could not believe it works, especially how flat the shots were all, shots grouped nicely....yeah the spring is exposed and the frame is short, but can I tell you, If Derya Makes an Island slide for the DY9Z it will be a disruptor for the radian ramjetters. Yes, I do have one of those for the 43x and the 19. The Island does work, the slide locks back, recoil is very nice, and what is noticed is the Island slide makes the DY9Z less snappy. Someone did post that there is an insert that can be purchased to fill in the gap on the frame. If any of you are wonder if it works. I'm here to tell you it DEFINITELY WORKS AND WORKS WELL.

Derya, for us DY9Z owners please consider this a request for a DY9Z Island Slide....Please.
Just got this TM22 and I wanted to change the butt stock, but then I noticed that I could just remove the cheek rest on the stock butt stock and I think it looks so much better, what do y’all think?
I just went to check Derya Exclusives and they have new drops in both the DY9 and the DY9Z. I did not check for one day and damm I guess I missed these. I need to check more often. If you do see something use Gijim10 to get a discount.
Like the title states. I’m looking to purchase a loaded chamber indicator of a CA version DY9. I know some of us have removed them, so if you don’t need it I’d be happy to purchase it.
Not sure if this is allowed. Mods please feel free to delete if not.
Thinking about buy a DY9 as a range toy. I saw some report about DY9 frame using glock upper. Are there any limits? like only works for gen 4. Is there anyone tried to convert it to a .40S&W with glock 23 slide?
Please keep in mind that I'm not the most skilled Dremel user. Even when using the baseplate with the hump, it doesn't hurt your hand when slamming in the magazine. I put the filed down magwell next to the original for comparison.
If you have plans in the future to redesign the Dy9 frame, please include these memory pads for the thumb and trigger finger! They feel superior to just about any other pistol I have held!
This is a gray dy9z appreciation post. I didn't know when I got it that the gray is Dunham's sports exclusive? Does anyone else have one? I admit I did want the black cherry, but the gray has a certain distinction to it.
The Factory direct frame I ordered arrived today. Great process but the way, easy to order, fast shipping and easy to track. Matched up one of my orphan slides to create a unique color combimation.
The DOJ released a memo in January saying that they want to replace the 1927 law that prohibits shipping of pistols and revolvers through the USPS. The time for public comments just ended.
Fortunately, not for reddit. What are everyone's thoughts? Do you too think it will create "an illegal arms pipeline" through America, or will it just save everyone time and money to no longer have to go to a FFL?
Had a really fun day at the range last weekend shooting some really fun Derya pistols.
This is the OWB slimfit holster made for the dy9/plx combo.
Took about a full month to get in.
I had ordered 2 other brands and this is the first holster I got that needed no heatgun to it.
When I eventually get comfortable with holsters I'll definitely be ordering IWB style.
From what I understand these sights are similar, if not the same, as the G43 sights. I have heard a lot of complaints on Glock forums and YouTube videos. I don’t know what they are talking about because my eyes pick up these sights so fast! The best out of my collection.
This is a comparison that briefly talks about the DY9Z and the Glock 43x Magazines at the range. Yes this is the Glock 10rd mag and how the DY9Z Act-Mag which does work in the Glock 43x, the original DY9Z magazine does not work in the Glock 43x. I'll post some more videos showing the magazines for comparison soon.
