MCW Sidewinder Single Pouch

from $65.00

Introducing the MCW Sidewinder Gen 4

The MCW Sidewinder Gen 4 is a complete redesign of our magazine pouch platform—engineered to eliminate side pressure and deliver a more consistent, repeatable draw.

Unlike previous generations, Sidewinder captures the magazine from the rear, guiding it along a cleaner, more controlled draw path. The result is improved consistency under speed, reduced interference during extraction, and a reload that feels the same—every time.

Sidewinder features magnetic retention tuned for competitive shooting, with 2-magnet and 3-magnet configurations to match division requirements and shooter preference. An optional indexed rotational mount system allows precise cant adjustment, ensuring each pouch presents identically on the belt for predictable reloads stage after stage.

The Gen 4 geometry has been optimized to hold 2011 and Glock magazines more consistently than previous versions, with four dedicated pouch sizes to ensure proper fit across platforms:

  • 9mm Double Stack 2 Magnet Version

    • Fits all 9mm double stack including 2011 and most 45 Double Stack

    • Recommended for all steel magazines in IDPA

  • 9mm Double Stack 3 Magnet

    • Fits all 9mm double stack including 2011 and most 45 Double Stack

    • Recommended for all Glock magazines in IDPA shooting in SSP

    • Recommended for all 9mm with higher round counts - USPSA/IPSC/PCSL/GPA

    • Offers the greatest retention

  • 45 Double Stack

    • Needed for Glock 21/41 Magazines

    • Most 9mm DS steel magazines

  • BUG 3 Magnet

    • Wider to accomodate Glock 26 magazines

  • 1911 Single Stack

    • Fits all 1911 pattern magazines

    • 9mm and 45 ACP

Sidewinder is available in right-hand and left-hand versions, defined by the shooter’s dominant hand, to ensure proper mounting and performance.

Designed and built in the USA by competitive shooters, the MCW Sidewinder Gen 4 reflects real match experience—not theory. It’s not a tweak. It’s a new direction.
