My eBay S&W Handcuffs

[sigp220.45]

I managed to hang onto this blued set for 8 years in the Air Force and 25 years in the FBI. It was a challenge sometimes during a big round up to get 'em back, but I always did. I gave each of my kids one of my duty guns when I retired - my daughter got my Model 36 and I put these in the presentation case with the gun.

My favorite part of the first Lethal Weapon film is after Riggs cuffs himself to a suicide jumper and then jumps with him into a rescue bag. As the uniformed LAPD officer leads the jumper away, Riggs says - those are my cuffs. I want them back.

Nice pair of Model 300 Hinged handcuffs. These were introduced in mid-1991.
The Model 300-1 you show, were introduced in 2011.
The very first S&W Hinged handcuff was the Model 200 & the Model 210 (oversized hinged cuff). These were introduced in 1990, but only lasted about one year before taken out of production. It featured a one-way folding hinge, folding inward, opposite the key-way side. This was a weak design and was prone to being "snapped apart" by the restrained subject.
Shown are photos of both M-200 & M-210.

Here's a pair that I found in my desk at work...forgot that I had them. Peerless. We bought several pair to use in a training course that we were putting on years ago.

Somewhere I have a set of leg irons from the same program.

Best Regards, Les

Good thread !

I had seen cuffs that were personalized before and one or two sets that were engraved so wanted to have the primary set I used from 1976 untill I retired last year done up as a memento.

A local fellow does some engraving and was able to fix me up. If I can ever get around to replacing the photo hosting site will put an image up.
