Derya Arms to Showcase DY9 ISLAND Pistol and Complete Upper at Gun Con 2025

CLEVELAND, OH — June 24, 2025

Derya Arms, a trailblazer in firearms innovation, is thrilled to announce its debut at Gun Con 2025 in Cleveland, Ohio, on June 28 at the Twist Drill Building (1242 E 49th St). Hosted by The Gun Collective, this premier firearms and outdoor lifestyle event brings together enthusiasts, professionals, and media. Derya Arms will showcase its DY9 ISLAND 9mm Pistol and Complete Upper, featuring the iconic Island Barrel Design, offering attendees a chance to experience elite performance made accessible.

Gun Con 2025 provides a dynamic stage for Derya Arms to engage with the firearms community at the historic Twist Drill Building. As first-time exhibitors, Derya is eager to connect with attendees, from novices to seasoned shooters, and share its vision for accessible innovation. The event’s focus on community and cutting-edge technology aligns with Derya’s mission to deliver high-performance firearms for all. Visitors are invited to explore the DY9 ISLAND and meet the team on June 28.

The DY9 ISLAND Pistol redefines performance with its Island Barrel Design, once exclusive to high-end competition firearms. Featuring four top-mounted gas ports and a heavier muzzle, it reduces muzzle rise by ~25% and recoil by ~12%, ensuring flatter shooting and faster follow-up shots. The Complete Upper, compatible with frames for DY9 and frames for Glock 19 Gen 4, brings the same precision and versatility in an interchangeable format. Experience it at Derya’s exhibit.

“Gun Con 2025 is the perfect venue to introduce our DY9 ISLAND Pistol and Complete Upper,” said Dustin Jones of Derya Arms. “We’re excited to share our classic within reach Island Barrel Design with the firearms community, hear their feedback, and demonstrate how the DY9 ISLAND elevates precision and control for every shooter.”

Derya Arms invites media and attendees to visit its exhibit on June 28 at the Twist Drill Building to explore the DY9 ISLAND and discuss its USA and Türkiye manufacturing. Learn more about the pistol at https://derya.us/dy9-island/ and Gun Con at https://guncon.net/.
