Derya Arms

Derya Arms has officially launched the Derya gun brand in the United States. The firm’s expansion stateside began with the establishment of a 15,000-square-foot headquarters and factory in Jacksonville, FL. There it will import the company’s firearms—with domestic manufacturing scheduled to begin in 2025—to the high standards of American enthusiasts.

“We are excited to introduce the Derya brand to the USA, starting U.S. production with two of our flagship products, the DY9 pistol and the DY12 shotgun,” said Abdullah Celer, president of South Derya Corporation dba Derya. “Our primary focus is quality, and we have been thoroughly impressed with the dedication and skill of American labor. We are excited about manufacturing in the USA and look forward to expanding our product lineup over time.”

The DY9 offers shooters a versatile and high-capacity 9 mm-chambered pistol, while the DY12 shotgun is celebrated for its adaptability and tactical advantages. Both are well known for reliability, performance and innovative design.

Denya Arms also unveiled a new U.S. website to provide enthusiasts and dealers with detailed information about products, upcoming releases and the latest news from the company. The site is a hub for customer service, product inquiries and exclusive U.S.-based promotions.

The company was established in the Beysehir region of Turkey in 1998, and today produces its tactical shotguns, pistols and rifles in a 250,000-square-foot factory. Its guns are currently exported to 65 different nations across the globe and, to meet growing demand, Denya Arms is opening a second, identical-sized plant soon in the Konya region of Turkey. The company is the largest shotgun manufacturer and second-largest small-arms maker in that nation, according to its website.

Enthusiasts can expect the Denya Arms guns to be available early in 2025, with the DY9 being the first to hit FFL shelves.
