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.

The Vickers Elite starts with our precision machined and hand fitted forged slide and frame combination along with our match-grade barrel for impeccable reliability and precise accuracy. 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. An extended steel base pad has been added to make this magazine the new standard for tactical 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.

  • Maximum strength-up to 25% stronger than standard 1911 mag springs for superior reliability with defensive and +P loads and more positive slide lockback .
  • Maximum longevity MAX flatwire spring will never lose optimum feeding tension as long as you own the magazine -guaranteed! Extensively tested by the Wilson Combat Shooting Team and testfire crew.
  • Maximum corrosion resistance-heat treated stainless MAX spring won’t corrode in high humidity or marine environments-a leading cause of service pistol spring fatigue.
  • Increases Reliability in ALL 1911 Pistols
  • Aircraft Grade Certified Stainless Steel Tube Resists Corrosion
  • The ETM has the Strongest Magazine Tube Yet Developed, Virtually Eliminating Feed Lip Cracking, Tube Spread and Cracking and General Fatigue
  • The Quality Control Behind the ETM Promises a Lifetime of Smooth and Reliable Operation
  • No-Risk Service Policy - If It Breaks from Normal Use, We Replace It!

Vickers Tactical M240 Sling

Blue Force Gear’s answer to the call for better Machine Gun slings. First of all, it is a 2-point design because getting your 3-point sling caught in the feeding ammo belt could cause a bad day. We employ the same off-set CNC-machined adjustment device we designed for the Vickers Combat Applications Sling, but added a Nomex® front piece to protect against barrel heat. Our exclusive double-sided shoulder pad insures that a padded surface is carrying the load even if the sling flips during use. This pad is 3″x 23″ long and covered with 1000D Cordura® nylon for hard use. ITW stainless steel MASHTM hooks and all metal hardware make this the sling of choice for weapons all the way up to the M240B/G. This sling is available in Black (BK), Coyote Brown (CB), Universal Camo-ACU (AC) and MultiCam® (MC).

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.

“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 VTMFP-001
By TangoDown

PACK OF 5

Few people understand modern combat pistol craft like Larry Vickers. After countless hours behind the pistol, he understands what will fall short in a gun fight.

The VT Magazine Floor Plates are flared with grooved non-slip scallops for positive finger purchase. Stubborn magazines are easily extracted whether muddy, caked with ice or sand. Great for one handed reloads too; just hook the magazine floor plate under your belt and extract quickly. Molded dimples allow for easy marking and numbering of magazines. Fits Glock™ magazine calibers 9×19, .40, .357 SIG, .45 GAP. NOT compatible with early Gen 1 non-metal lined magazines.

Vickers Tactical Magazine Floor Plates
VTMFP-003

By TangoDown

PACK OF 2

Back up pistols are designed to be…small. Maybe a little too small, depending on the size of hands you own. If your firing grip puts your pinky finger in space, the Vickers Tactical Floor Plate is the answer. Its shape is soft and contoured, extending downward just enough to allow all fingers to grip the weapon for maximum recoil control. It also features indentations on both sides to allow positive magazine removal, should the magazine become stuck in the weapon. Made of the same bomb-proof polymer found in all VT Floor Plates and comes in packs of 2. Note: the VTMFP-003 does NOT change magazine capacity.

Fits Glock™ Model 42. Will NOT fit Glock™ Models 25, 28.

-Extended front strap allows positive firing grip with all fingers.

-Injection molded from ultra-strong and durable glass-filled polymer.

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
