I have several handguns (Beretta 92’s and Glocks) that will likely not be fired or used for 3-4 years.
I’m thinking it might make sense to oil them up good and store them in VCI bags.
I’d prefer the bags with the ziplock-slider closure but I can’t find them anywhere reasonably priced.
Wilson Combat sells them ( https://wilsoncombat.com/bag-corrosi...g-polymer.html ) but fifteen of them would cost me $42.
Is that a fair price or is there another more reasonably priced source?
Found them for half the price!

First I’ve heard of these.

FWIW, looking in my history, those were a hundred pack of 10" by 12" off Amazon for $105.00. So $1.05 a bag in quantity anyways.

Any chance of a link? I looked and can't find 10x12 or a hundo pack. Thanks!

Here you go (complete with the P-F referrer in the link):
VCI Rust Prevention Zip Close Bags - Cortec
Looks like they come in 10, 50, and 100 packs with a little more discount as the quantity goes up.

Well crap, I was searching for the wrong thing. I was searching zerust not VCI. No wonder my Amazon-fu sucked! Thanks!

I have used the Zerust before and this time I opted for VCI. Both work great for long(er) term storage. When storing non-NY stuff out of state, pistols and expensive mags (STI) in VCI bags. Now no concerns with them staying locked away at my sister's house in Texas. Even when I had everything in house, if the gun didn't get used regularly, stored in the rust inhibitor bag was the normal condition.
I highly recommend them.
