Owners who choose the 17-round Melik over the restricted-capacity version note that the full-capacity magazine makes the gun feel more at home as a range pistol and home-defense option. The melonite finish on the slide gets consistent positive marks for standing up to regular use without showing wear, and the aluminum frame is appreciated for the balance it provides compared to an all-polymer build.

The DA/SA action is the main friction point. First-time DA/SA shooters find the trigger weight difference between the first and subsequent shots requires adjustment, while experienced DA/SA users consider it a non-issue. The 4.90-inch barrel is longer than a compact but shorter than a classic full-size, which leads to some debate about whether the Melik fits cleanly into any standard holster category.

Derya's presence in the US aftermarket is thin, and owners report that finding purpose-built holsters requires extra searching. The gun's value proposition gets solid marks for buyers willing to work within that constraint, but anyone expecting the same support ecosystem as an established American or European brand will find the Melik comes up short.
