Your gun safe does one job very well: it keeps people out.

But it does not automatically control humidity or prevent rust on the fi***rm inside.

That surprises a lot of gun owners because a safe, hard case, gun oil, silica gel, and dehumidifier all help in different ways.

The question is: what is protecting the metal while it sits between range trips or hunting trips?

We make Victory VCI bags, so we put together a straight comparison of the common storage methods including where oil, silica gel, dehumidifiers, hard cases, and VCI each fit.

No “throw everything else out and buy ours” nonsense. Just what each one is actually designed to do.

What do you use in your safe or storage setup?

Victory VCI® Rust & Corrosion Prevention Storage Bags for Fi***rms & Ammo

This was pretty cool for our little Texas company.
Shooting Industry recently included Victory VCI® and our Dealer Program in its Dealer Advantage Industry News.
They highlighted our 12-Package Dealer Trial, which we created to give independent gun shops a simple way to try Victory VCI without having to place a large opening order.
We manufacture our rust-prevention storage bags right here in Texas and getting this kind of recognition from a publication that serves the fi****ms industry means a lot to us.
Thanks to Shooting Industry for helping more retailers discover Victory VCI.
If you own a gun shop, work at a range, or know an independent retailer that might be a good fit, we'd appreciate you passing this along.

What does VCI actually mean?

We put it right in our name Victory VCI, but a lot of gun owners have never had a reason to know what those three letters stand for.
VCI means V***r Corrosion Inhibitor.

Here’s the simple version:
When metal is enclosed with VCI material, corrosion inhibiting v***r moves through the enclosed space and helps protect exposed metal surfaces from rust and corrosion.

Because that protective v***r moves throughout the enclosed space, it can help reach exposed metal surfaces that may be difficult to cover completely with oil or a cloth.

That’s why VCI technology is used to protect metal during storage and why we use it for fi****ms, am******on, magazines and other stored metal gear.

So, if you’ve ever seen “VCI” on a storage product and wondered what it actually does, we put together a plain-English explanation of how it works.

I’ll put the link in the first comment.

What actually prevents a gun from rusting in storage?
A hard case? Gun oil? Silica gel? A safe dehumidifier? VCI?
The answer is that they don't all do the same job.

A gun safe primarily provides security.
A hard case provides physical protection.
Silica gel helps manage moisture.
A dehumidifier helps control the larger storage environment.
Gun oil and preservatives protect surfaces where they're applied.
VCI creates a corrosion-inhibiting environment around enclosed metal.
We just published our most detailed fi***rm-storage guide yet comparing these different approaches including independent preservation sources and Victory VCI's actual corrosion testing results with untreated control samples.

The goal isn't to tell gun owners to throw away the safe, case, oil or dehumidifier they already trust.
It's to understand what job each one is actually doing and what protection may still be missing.
Keep the storage system you trust. Add the corrosion protection may be missing.

I work for a company that makes corrosion prevention products, which makes this a little embarrassing.

I bought this Springfield Model 87A, aka the “Gill Gun,” in great shape with the foam-lined case. I got busy, and what was supposed to be temporary storage turned into about two years.

I opened it recently because I wanted to go shooting and found this.

Apparently “I’ll take care of it later” can turn into two years pretty fast.

Has anyone else had temporary storage turn into something like this, or am I the only one?

Most rust problems don’t start while your gear is being used. They start while it’s sitting.

A gun safe, foam case, storage room, hunting property, armory or preparedness setup can all become long-term storage environments.

That’s where VCI protection fits in.

Victory VCI bags create an enclosed corrosion protection environment around stored metal, helping protect fi****ms, am******on, magazines and other metal gear during the time between uses.

No complicated routine. Put clean, dry gear away protected and have it ready when you need it.

Loose ammo storage doesn’t have to be complicated.

This isn’t a studio photo. I took it out at the land with one of our Victory VCI 12×18 Handgun & Am******on Storage Bags filled with loose am******on.

The bag makes it easy to keep ammo together, grab it when you need it, and put it back into protected storage when you’re done.
But organization is only part of the reason we make them.
When properly enclosed, Victory VCI provides v***r-phase corrosion protection for the metal inside the bag while it sits in storage.

✓ 3+ years of corrosion protection
✓ Heavy-duty 4-mil VCI film
✓ Made in USA
✓ MIL-DTL-22020E compliant
✓ 9 bags per retail pack

How do you store your loose am******on between trips ammo cans, original boxes, or something else?
