Unfortunately, I did not have a very good experience with this one. As a friend said, it was the most "Turkish experience" so far.

ive seen this comment a lot on here. do people not buy guns for fun or unique actions? even if it was 2019 id be interested in owning one, especially if it was a lever

I mean if u had the option to buy semi autos, than this would be a cool purchase but when firearms like these are out into the market because of the lack of semi autos, than you can't judge these based Off some cool range plinker but you have to judge these based off your previously legal semi autos which blow this slop out of the water

Man if semi auto PPC’s were still legal to buy and shoot they wouldn’t be on the market. Especially for $900, no way I’m buying this.

In 2019 this would be $400.

In 2019, $400 was worth what $800 is today.

There are decades where years [of inflation] happen, and then there are years where decades [of inflation] happen.

2020-2021 was the latter.

I buy pump action shotguns, as God intended. This is cope.

Folks have varying tastes.

For some, this is as close to a PCC replacement or people who get straight pulls as a AR replacement. It OOKS similar and they can maybe reuse some furniture.

It is by definition buying to cope with the loss of options.

Doesn't mean you can't want unique actions or odd guns.

Plus levers aren't cope guns imo (I say this as someone who's building out a cope Henry supreme lmao)

I love weird guns, and the idea of manual action PCCs, love my Rhineland. Would probably be getting the bolt even if semi's were available, but I also acknowledge that I'm in the, if not the minority

No- we don't buy guns, we just claim moral superiority over the people that do.

In all seriousness, though, this product suffers because it's not really a new design, it's mostly just trying to maximally reuse TM-22 parts/development that were already paid for.

In this case, stuff that's fine on the .22- namely the single (thin) action bar, very thin pump, no action lock (and depending on the mechanical disadvantage of said single action bar to keep the gun locked- probably a lot better on the .22), and long bolt (so most of its geometries can be used in the lever-action version too)- is not quite as fine on the 9. Similarly, the stock retention and the pump itself likely yield no problems on the .22, as it's only 1/3rd the recoil.

It doesn't help that the non-semi-auto TM22s are very squarely in the "meme gun" category (they likely cost more for Derya to make than the semi-auto TM22 does: more parts for zero mechanical benefit), so the fact they can't run as fast is probably fine... and then reusing those parts/designs for the 9mm means the final product inherits those compromises. And that'd be fine if they were asking near the same price for the 9, but they're not.

The bolt action looks like it was engineered from the ground up to be a bolt-action 9mm, as it's clearly unlike anything else in their catalogue; I would expect that one to perform a lot better due to that fact alone.
