why do all handcuffs suck
every single manufacturer of a handcuff model designs their cuffs with flaws and they dont care
either the keyhole is unnecessarily large or the cuffs are too easy to pick or too easy to shim or too easy to remove the double lock with an inertia impact or they don't have back loading or their painted surface looks like shit after three uses
the asp sentry cuffs can be opened with a business card and double lock defeated with a smack. the peerless hinged cuffs can be broken with enough human force. the peerless chain cuffs can be bound and busted easily. the Chicago models are decent but their keyhole is pretty untamed and large. Smith and Wesson cuffs are vulnerable to a double lock window exploit that releases the pawl when tugged on and they were warned about this and do not care.
the only cuffs that had a chance were gotcha and tuff kuffs and both are out of business. even the new hulk kuffs that were designed in canada for the Canadian government fail to meet anti tampering expectations.
they're all junk period except maybe hiatt speedcuffs cts trimax and hiatt chain and hinged models and perhaps the Chicago x22 if you dont mind s double bit key.
and I love how no manufacturer has addressed the need for a smaller cuff. so you put cuffs on a female and 9 times out of 10 she's sliding out. handcuff helper works with peerless and Smith and Wesson and Chicago but that's an extra step and extra gear to have.
and how about a cuff with a single link instead of a double link for smaller girths. so they arent sliding the cuffs in front of them constantly.
how about making a small to medium size and medium to large size with the smaller fitting the tiniest wrists to the most average. the handcuff scene is fucking ridiculous.
and please don't give me the temporary restraint, hands properly secured palms facing out, and supervision argument.
