Derya Arms announces the U.S. launch of the Derya Max, a new magazine-fed shotgun manufactured in Jacksonville, Florida. This innovative model addresses reliability issues common in shotguns, featuring proprietary polymer magazines and a dual recoil system. Crafted with input from competitive shooters, it aims to excel in both defense and competitions.
You may have caught glimpses of the MAX in coverage out of Türkiye. This is different. This is the official U.S. launch — and these guns are being manufactured right here in Jacksonville, Florida.
Nobody has built more magazine-fed shotguns than Derya. The DY12 and its siblings have run in matches, in the field, and in duty use around the world. All that experience taught us one thing above everything else: the magazine is the number-one source of reliability issues on mag-fed shotguns — even on high-end guns.
So we didn’t tweak an existing model. We started over. The MAX is an entirely new, proprietary platform — a purpose-built competition and defense shotgun designed around solving that problem, with nothing else like it on the market.
Magazines That Solve the Problem
