Vickers Elite 1911: by Wilson Combat
Years of practical experience as an assaulter, pistolsmith, competitive shooter, industry consultant and trainer have formed the basis for the Vickers Elite-Larry Vickers' signature Wilson Combat model 1911. The Vickers Elite combines many of our time tested custom handgun features and ads some new modifications as requested by Larry to create a unique signature pistol with universal tactical appeal.

Renowned Wilson Combat hand-fitting to rigorous specifications yields a pistol that you can count on regardless of the shooting scenario at hand. The Vickers Elite wears the Vickers Tactical logo on the slide and on the proprietary G-10 grips to immediately identify this model in the field. A special .45 caliber Wilson Combat magazine was also developed for this model with extensive input from Vickers based on his deployment experience. The Vickers Duty Magazine has a reinforced, solid tube for added strength, a newly engineered follower with sand cuts and a last round retention feature. The standard coil spring has been replaced with a stainless flatwire spring for the ultimate in long term feeding reliability in extreme environments and hard use.

1911 ETM-V, Vickers Duty Magazine, .45ACP, Full-Size, 8 round, Steel Base Pad
Our outstanding ETM magazine has been redesigned from the ground up with input from firearms expert Larry Vickers to include a solid tube construction, redesigned basepad, follower sand cuts for smoother operation in harsh environments and a molded-in last round follower detent to absolutely prevent last round feed failures. This mag has been designed as the last word in military or law enforcement duty magazines for the 1911 platform pistol. The Vickers Duty Mag has a completely sealed construction with rear witness hole that nearly eliminates lip spreading and ingress points for sand and debris. The redesigned follower has sand cuts to reduce friction when dirty or heavily fouled and the new last round detent will solve last round reliability issues in the 1911 design. The baseplate of the Duty mag is uniquely shaped and easy to grab under stress. It is weighted to drop free in any field conditions. The heat-treated MAX flatwire construction never gets stressed or over-compressed like a conventional spring and is guaranteed to never require replacement even after high round counts or daily, extreme duty use.

Magazine Catch for Glock
by TangoDown The newest product to be released by Vickers Tactical is a collaborative effort between Larry Vickers and TangoDown LLC. It is a slightly extended magazine release for the Glock series 9mm/40/357SIG and now the Glock 20, 21, 29 and 30 series. The black plastic magazine is molded from the same material as the factory original, but is slightly extended and has rounded edges. Larry has always felt the Glock standard magazine release was too short and the extended Glock release was too long. In addition, both versions have sharp edges. After wondering if anyone was ever going to offer a better version, he decided to partner up with TangoDown and offer it as a Vickers Tactical product. Larry has known Jeff Cahill for a long time and has used Tangodown products for years with excellent results. “They were a natural as I consider them one of the best plastic accessory makers in the firearms business” – Larry Vickers The Vickers Tactical Extended Magazine Release was designed to prevent the magazine from accidentally being released if laid on a flat surface. An absolute must for anyone using a Crimson Trace Glock laser unit since the stock magazine catch is almost impossible to activate with a CTC laser in place. Models – All 9mm/40/357SIG/10mm/45ACP Glock models. Installation – 99% of the time it is easily user installed. If you run into problems, have a gunsmith install it. Available from Red State Tactical “I am very excited about this new product – I teach and shoot with a Glock 19 more than any other gun and the Glock is by far the most common pistol I see in classes. This product is long overdue and I feel really answers the mail.” – Larry Vickers “After using the Larry Vickers G21 magazine catch in one of our pistol classes, it was adopted for use by the Garland, TX PD SWAT Team. The team is extremely pleased with the catch. It has made reloads faster and more efficient. As a result, reload times have decreased. Finally something for the G21!” - Dan Colasanto, Garland, TX Police Department, S.W.A.T. / Team Leader |

Vickers Tactical Magazine Floor Plates

Vickers Tactical Slide Racker GSR-01
By TangoDown Pack of 1 The Glock 42 represents the first of a whole new line of brilliant ‘pocket’ pistols from the fabled Austrian gun maker. The G42 is slim, light and simple… the absolute minimum requirements you expect from a concealed weapon that you carry each and every day. With each new Glock model, Larry Vickers is the first to cast a cold, hard stare of reality on its intended mission and customer base. After extended range sessions, few things stood out for improvement, but one thing was clear: the slide was difficult to grasp and cycle under normal circumstances, let alone high-stress 'events.' The small slide, shallow finger purchase cuts and stout recoil spring assembly make for tough initial chambering, especially for women or anyone with less than optimal finger/hand strength. Outside of an expensive trip to a machine shop or gunsmith to make the slide purchase cuts deeper, there was no fix. Until the TD design team got the call. The GSR-01 is a top quality drop-in part that solves the issue cold. Injection molded of glass-reinforced nylon with stainless steel reinforcement just like the OEM part, it replaces the striker retention plate in minutes with no other modification to the sidearm. Once in place, the GSR-01 offers easy, effortless and positive slide cycling under any condition. -Tough, stainless steel & injection molded glass reinforced nylon construction -Extended ‘Wing’ shape with serrations makes for easy slide cycling, even under stress -Installs in minutes, without any weapon modifications OA Length: 1.187 Width: .620 Weight: 1 oz Made in the USA Buy yours today! |
