    Sights can be modded and eventually replaced. If enough Derya's sell, we know that capitalism will cause someone to see that there is a market for replacement sights for all of the DY9s out there. I challenge you to find a better defensive handgun for $299.99, especially here in Commifornia.
    I thought that pistol was a glock gen3 clone? If so you should have plenty of sight options

      Unfortunately the sights are not clones, they have their own proprietary way of mounting to the slide, making them incompatible with every other sight on the market.
      My Walther PDP Compact uses Glock sights, I really wish Derya had done the same.

      The Derya has a locator dot along with a counter sunk allen for the front, and Glocks have an elongated hole and the little infamous hex screw from the underside.
      The rear sight on the Derya has a set screw AND had to be pressed out. A Glock sight just slips right through as it seems like its a full millimeter skinnier in the sight cut.

          From what Derya says, there are no third party sights that fit. Might be able to take it to a gunsmith and have them figure out something but since its a cheap pistol, probably not worth the outlay to do so.
          I'm switching out the rear fiber with black Dawson tubes and the front red with white Dawson tubing, that's about the best you're going to get without doing something custom with a gunsmith.

            I ordered an island barrel kit and plan on using a red dot i already have. Still not a bad deal at $600 for a optic ready, island ported pistol with an extra slide and barrel 😀.
            The front sight is still usable even if the fiber is a bit dim. I can live with the front sight for now.

              Are you able to give step by step instructions with pictures for educational purposes?

                I wonder if posting instructions on how to remove California mandated features is illegal.

                3273.625.

                (a) It is unlawful to knowingly, willfully, or recklessly cause another person to engage in the unlawful manufacture of firearms, or to knowingly, willfully, or recklessly aid, abet, promote, or facilitate the unlawful manufacture of firearm

                  You have to ask? Everything having to do with guns is illegal in Commifornia. The adage is, if you have to ask if it's legal here, it's illegal.
