API Gun Bag Review By Eddie Davenport Skirmish Line Editor A few months back I was approached by Arms Preservation Inc. to review their API Gun Bags. How A.P.I. VCI Gun Bags work: Arms Preservation Gun Bags utilize a combination of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) chemistry and carefully selected barrier packaging materials to completely prevent the corrosion of firearms, firearm parts, and ammunition during storage. The materials that Arms Preservation Gun Bags are manufactured with are a carefully selected combination of materials that conjointly yield anti-corrosion properties that are supported by a transparent flexible barrier layer. This combination of anti-corrosion & barrier materials is puncture-resistant, tear-resistant, non-abrasive, non-toxic, and will not harm any non-metal surfaces. However, the most important corrosion preventative features of the A.P.I. Gun Bags are its VCI impregnated internal layer and its exterior barrier layer. To test the API Gun Bags, I decided to put one of my revolvers in their bag and store it in my workshop. This shop is not heated and experiences temperature fluctuations ranging from 10 degrees to 70 degrees. I stored the pistol in the barn over the winter months and into the spring. I could not be happier with the results. After three months of storage the pistol looks the same as the day, I put it in there. If you are planning on long term storage of a firearm or other metal items then API Gun Bags are there for you.
