Made with Cortec VpCI-126 MIL Film
API uses Cortec VpCI-126 MIL film on the inside layer of this VCI Pistol Bag. This MIL version is a transparent blue VCI film designed for long-term multimetal corrosion protection.
Cortec VpCI-126 MIL is qualified to MIL-PRF-22019D Type 1. Cortec also cites Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division QPL reference 43500B120-3/531 for VpCI-126 Blue.
Referenced standards and technical sources include TO 1-1-686, TM 55-1500-331-34, NAVAIR 15-01-4, and NACE Standard RP0487-2000.
How This VCI Pistol Bag Works
VCI stands for Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor. Inside the sealed bag, the VCI layer releases protective molecules into the enclosed air space around the firearm.
Those molecules settle on exposed metal surfaces and help reduce oxidation before rust starts. This protection can reach both visible metal and hard-to-reach internal areas.
The outer layers add barrier protection against moisture, oxygen, and outside contaminants. That helps this VCI Pistol Bag perform better than basic single-layer VCI bags.
Built for Pistol, Revolver, and Optic-Ready Handgun Storage
This 11x15 VCI Pistol Bag fits many subcompact, compact, and full-size handguns. It is also a strong option for many revolvers and pistols with mounted optics.
It works well for range pistols, carry guns, backup handguns, collectibles, and stored sidearms that need dependable long-term rust prevention.
Common fit applications
- Subcompact pistols
- Compact and full-size handguns

Cleaner Than Oil-Heavy Storage Methods
Many gun owners want corrosion protection without thick grease or oily coatings. This VCI Pistol Bag helps keep storage simple while reducing the need for messy rust-prevention methods.
When the firearm is removed, there is no heavy storage coating to wipe off. That helps keep the handgun cleaner and more ready to use.
