I jumped on it and got it

Context:

Following this DYPA12 for a while, anticipating for when it came out. I was in the starbies drive through when I got the email notification. Purchased right away.

Took 3 days to get here.

Pros:
Small
Sights are decent.
Very good knock off glock mags.
Accuracy not bad.

The bad.

Mag springs super tight. ( will get better with age )
My buttock tube came loose.
Odd to pump a 9mm, ( I was over pumping it thinking it was a 12g )

And now why you are really here……

The pics 🙂

Breakdown isnt terrible. The pump is a bit stiff, but that's because there's no action release. Trigger feels good too imo.

Recommend highly. Keeping the 9mm PCC's alive in this country

Genuine question, why not just a Homesteader? It's too bad Midwest industries discontinued their aluminum handguard and stock for it. Still got Tommy Enterprises stuff though to make it look pretty cool, although I would prefer aluminum parts. 

Genuinely curious, and by all means, if you just wanted it, that is a very valid reason. I personally just don't see a need to buy one myself with a homesteader already.

It's sort of too bad they didn't go for proprietary mags, like what the Canuck Recon did, which allows it to take 30rd drum mags because of the manual action. I think the Glock mags are a bit of a drawback. If it used something proprietary where you could get over 10rd capacity that would have been neat. 

Either way, congrats, they are neat little rifles and hopefully more people buying 9mm will continue to keep it cheap in Canada. One of the cheapest calibers to still shoot these days thankfully.

I looked at a homesteader, but the derya was about $500-ish cheaper and I felt the homesteader was a bit bulky.

Plus I like more manual action firearms over semi-auto so it was a win-win for me.

Agreed with the manual action. That plus the shortie barrel means I'll be grabbing thus over the homesteader too.  Now just gotta decide whether  to get the Tommy gun looking one, or the pistol grip one....
