I maintained my cuffs. Cleaned them when I cleaned gun after qualifying. Never had any fail.
I did notice a unique use for Peerless cuffs last time I was at the PD SWAT range ….

Like Vtgw938 said, the S&W cuffs we had were apparently a later series... The earlier S&W handcuffs that you referred to looked identical to the Peerless ones I carried...I just looked on Ebay because I never knew the different models of handcuffs that S&W made.
The model 90 was the one you are probably referring to. The secondary lock on that S&W is identical to Peerless...However, we all had the Model 100 which had a sliding actuator on the front slab side of the cuff, which I did not like.
First pic is S&W Model 90 which I would probably like and you referred to.
Second pic is S&W Model 100 which we were issued and I do not like...Note the sliding double lock on the Model 100 that differs from the S&W Model 90 and the Peerless and Jay-Pee.
