MIL-PRF-81705 VCI Pistol Bag for Advanced Weapon Corrosion Protection
The API MIL-PRF-81705 VCI Pistol Bag is an 11" x 15" ESD VCI firearm storage bag for pistols, handguns, and static-sensitive weapon storage programs.
This bag design offers API’s most advanced weapon corrosion protection by combining an ESD outer barrier layer with Cortec VpCI-126 MIL film on the inside layer.
It was designed at the request of a U.S. Air Force unit that needed firearm storage tied to Technical Order TO 11A-13-10-7.
The 8 mil multi-layer construction helps protect weapons from corrosion, moisture exposure, and electrostatic discharge concerns during storage.
Made in the USA by Arms Preservation Inc., this bag is built for military, law enforcement, armory, and professional firearm storage programs.

- 5-10 year protection: Helps protect firearms for 5-10 years when used correctly.
- 8 mil multi-layer design: Combines an ESD barrier layer with a VCI corrosion-inhibiting inside layer.
- Cortec VpCI-126 MIL film: Uses military-grade VCI film on the inside layer.
- Reusable closure: Hook-and-loop closure allows fast access and repeated resealing.
- Made in USA: Built for firearm owners, armorers, agencies, and military storage programs.
Made with Cortec VpCI-126 MIL Film
API uses Cortec VpCI-126 MIL film on the inside layer of this MIL-PRF-81705 VCI pistol bag.
This MIL version of Cortec VpCI-126 is a transparent blue VCI film designed for long-term corrosion-inhibiting packaging.
Cortec VpCI-126 MIL is qualified to MIL-PRF-22019D Type 1.
It is confirmed by the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division and referenced with QPL 13600 Ser 43500B120-3/531.
This military-approved VCI film is designed to protect ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Additional standards and references include TO 1-1-686, TM 55-1500-331-34, NAVAIR 15-01-4, and NACE Standard RP0487-2000.
How ESD and VCI Protection Work Together
VCI stands for Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor.
Inside the sealed bag, the VCI layer releases corrosion-inhibiting molecules into the enclosed air space around the handgun.
These molecules settle on exposed metal surfaces and help reduce oxidation before rust starts.
The MIL-PRF-81705 ESD outer barrier layer adds static-control and moisture-barrier performance.
This dual-layer approach helps protect pistols, red dot sights, lights, metal parts, and sensitive firearm accessories.
Built for Pistols, Handguns, Optics, and Armory Storage
This 11" x 15" MIL-PRF-81705 VCI pistol bag is sized for many common handgun storage needs.
It is useful for military armories, law enforcement storage, home safes, duty handgun storage, and long-term firearm preservation.
The bag helps reduce heavy oil, grease, and repeated wipe-downs during storage.
Common fit applications
- Semi-automatic pistols
- Duty handguns
- Carry pistols
- Handguns with red dot sights
- Handguns with lights or lasers
- Collectible pistols
- Military and law enforcement sidearms
- Static-sensitive handgun storage programs
Cleaner Than Heavy Oil, Grease, and Gun Socks
Many firearm storage methods rely on heavy oil, grease, desiccants, or soft gun socks.
The API MIL-PRF-81705 VCI Pistol Bag gives owners and armorers a cleaner storage option.
Place a clean, dry handgun directly into the bag and seal the hook-and-loop closure completely.
Do not store the handgun inside a gun sock while it is sealed in the VCI bag.
Soft gun socks can retain moisture and may create a risk of surface rust.
How to Use the API MIL-PRF-81705 VCI Pistol Bag
- Confirm the firearm is unloaded.
- Clean and dry the handgun before storage.
- Place the handgun directly into the VCI bag.
- Do not use a gun sock inside the bag.
- Seal the hook-and-loop closure completely.
- Store the sealed bag in a stable indoor location.
