Shot Show 2026 Derya Arms and their latest and greatest!

Derya at SHOT Show 2026: what stood out from Derya’s 2026 lineup

SHOT Show 2026 in Las Vegas (Jan 20–23 at the Venetian Expo + Caesars Forum) was the usual circus: bright lights, louder claims, and more “revolutionary” talk than a late-night infomercial. So I stuck to my standard method — ignore the hype, look for real-world practicality, and pay attention to the stuff that makes sense after the show-floor adrenaline wears off.

Derya was one of the booths I wanted to hit because they weren’t just showing products — they were pushing a bigger story: expanded production capability, U.S. presence, and a lineup that’s clearly trying to cover multiple lanes without pricing everyone out of the game. (derya.us)

The big theme: expansion + “we’re serious about being here”

Derya leaned hard into their dual-factory message (Türkiye + United States) and used SHOT to reinforce that they’re building scale and support around the brand, not just shipping boxes and hoping for the best. They were also easy to find: Venetian Expo, Level 2, Booth 13822. (derya.us)

What I focused on at the booth

I’m not here to read a catalog out loud. The internet’s already full of people doing that for free.

On the show floor, I’m looking at:

• Practical roles: does this model make sense for the job it’s being pitched for, or is it just a spec-sheet flex?
• Controls and ergonomics: how it sits in the hand, how the controls fall, and whether the design feels deliberate.
• Build intent: does it look like a product line with direction, or a pile of random SKUs?
• Value without gimmicks: features that matter, not features that only look good in an ad.

The 2026 lineup highlights from Derya

Here’s what Derya’s 2026 direction looked like from a “big picture” standpoint — pistols, shotguns, and rimfire/training-friendly options, with a lot of emphasis on affordability and availability.

1) Micro-compact pistol lane: DY9Z (and variations)

The DY9Z keeps showing up in Derya’s 2026 product push and media coverage as the “affordable micro-compact” play. The company’s own materials emphasize a metal 15-round magazine in a micro-compact format, which is an interesting angle for capacity in that size class. (derya.us)

Whether it’s your thing or not, the intent is clear: modern carry size, reasonable capacity, and priced for normal humans, not just collectors with expensive habits.

2) Rimfire/training lane: TM22 series, including the TM22 Flash

Derya made noise around the TM22 series going into 2026, and the TM22 Flash specifically got called out as a tactical semi-auto .22LR option with a very aggressive MSRP for what it’s trying to be. (derya.us)

I like seeing companies treat .22LR as more than a “kid gun” category. Rimfire is where people build reps without burning rent money, and it’s also where brands either prove reliability… or get exposed fast.

3) Shotgun lane: expanding models/variants (including Derya MAX family)

Derya’s product listings and 2026 catalog structure make it obvious they’re continuing to expand and segment their shotgun lineup (with multiple MAX variants showing up as “new”). (deryaarms.com)

I’m not going to pretend SHOT floor handling tells you everything about how a shotgun runs — but you can absolutely tell when a company is treating a category like a long-term commitment instead of a one-off import-and-forget project.

4) The “full lineup” view: 2026 catalogs

If you want the complete 2026 spread, Derya is publishing separate 2026 catalogs for rifles, shotguns, and pistols. That’s usually a sign the company is thinking in families and platforms, not just individual models. (deryaarms.com)

No “how-to,” no hype — just a show-floor overview

Quick housekeeping: this is a SHOT Show overview. Everything here is observational and educational. I’m not providing instructions on building, modifying, or manufacturing anything. Follow all safety rules, and follow the manufacturer’s guidance.

What’s next

SHOT Show is step one. The real story is always range time: reliability, recoil behavior, accuracy consistency, and how the platform holds up when it’s not being babied for photos.

So here’s my plan:

• Keep tracking Derya’s 2026 releases and what actually ships in volume.
• If I get meaningful trigger time behind specific models, I’ll break them down the way I always do — what works, what doesn’t, and what matters after the honeymoon phase.

If you want me to prioritize a specific Derya model for a deeper dive, tell me which one. “Because it looks cool” is still a valid answer. We’re allowed to enjoy things.
