## Resource

This week, John and Kailey sit down with Dustin from Derya Arms to break down how the brand went from startup to U.S. manufacturing in under a year. Dustin shares his journey into the gun industry, why the DY9 has become one of the most underrated value pistols, and how Derya shifted 95% of DY9 production to Jacksonville, Florida while keeping prices low through efficiency and vertical integration. ----------------------- Thanks to AAC Ammo & Palmetto State Armory for sponsoring our guest gear!
