Question Derya DY9 or wait for Gen 6 Glocks?

What is everyone's consensus on reliability of the DY9?
I have a friend who wants to get one as his first (and possibly only ever) firearm due to the price/availability right now but I am steering him towards an Echelon

I was hesitant to get one after seeing some early issues including a friend's. I ended up buying one just because of the price point. It has been great 300 rounds in. I like it much better than Glocks which have never worked me. Obviously there are many better options available, but for the money new I can't think of one that matches it out of the box. You won't be able to get one new here in a week or two, but I'm sure the used ones will be even less and no excise tax so should be some good deals eventually

I'm considering getting a Derya DY9 so that I can have something resembling a Glock 17. Saw some reviews of the DY9 and it seems decent considering the price point. I also don't want to risk the DY9 ban taking effect by the time the Gen 6s release and losing a possible alternative if the Gen 6s are disappointing. Anyone have any opinion on DY9 versus Glock 17?

Ngl I'd probably settle for an M&P or even a Sig

Go Echelon. If it's going to be his only gun, the option to change grip modules opens up a lot of possibilities.

I had him shoot the Derya and Echelon side by side today and he’s leaning Echelon for sure. I explained the swapping of grips etc and he liked that part as well. For a one and done it is worth spending a bit more on it IMO
