Derya Arms, a premier firearms manufacturer, is proud to announce that the DY9 9mm pistol, proudly made in Jacksonville, Florida, has been officially approved for the California Department of Justice (DOJ) Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale. This significant achievement highlights Derya’s commitment to producing high-quality, American-made firearms. The DY9 is also in the final stages of approval for the Massachusetts Approved Firearms Roster, expanding its reach to another key market.

The DY9 (California Version), a striker-fired 9mm pistol with a 10-round capacity, boasts Truglo sights, a black nitride finish, and compatibility with multiple optic plates, making it a top choice for personal defense, recreational shooting, and law enforcement. Priced at an MSRP of $399, the Jacksonville-manufactured DY9 offers exceptional value, combining affordability with precision craftsmanship.

“We’re excited to bring the American-made DY9 to California shooters at an accessible price,” said Dustin Jones, Derya Arms. “Crafted right here in Jacksonville, the DY9 embodies our dedication to quality, innovation, and meeting the needs of responsible gun owners. With this approval, we’re gearing up production in the USA and look forward to its upcoming addition to the Massachusetts roster.”

Following the California DOJ approval, Derya Arms is ramping up production at its Jacksonville facility, with plans to begin shipping DY9 California version pistols to distributors from mid to late August 2025. The DY9 MASSAFORNIA is expected to be available in retail stores throughout California by September 2025. The DY9’s inclusion on the California DOJ Roster allows California residents to purchase this reliable and versatile pistol through authorized dealers. With its pending Massachusetts approval, Derya Arms anticipates even broader availability for shooters seeking a high-performance firearm. The DY9 is manufactured at Derya’s 15,000-square-foot facility in Jacksonville, Florida, ensuring American-made quality and supporting local jobs.
