Smith & Wesson has been making quality handcuffs and restraints since 1920.

Smith & Wesson handcuffs are fabricated from the finest quality carbon or stainless steel. They are manufactured with heat treated internal lockworks, featuring smooth ratchets for swift cuffing and double locks to prevent tampering. All Smith & Wesson handcuffs meet or exceed demanding U.S. National Institute of Justice tests for workmanship, strength, corrosion and tamper resistance. Over the years, the original Model 100 series handcuffs have become a standard in corrections equipment. Prisoner transport security teams rely on the durability of our restraint chains and leg irons. Smith & Wesson is a handcuff manufacturer proven worldwide as a leader in handcuff and restraint production. 

There are two common methods for double-locking handcuffs. Some cuffs use a push pin mechanism, while Smith & Wesson cuffs have traditionally incorporated a slot-activated mechanism. Some officers prefer one method, while other officers prefer the other. It doesn't matter which mechanism you prefer or are comfortable with, so long as you remember to double-lock every time!

S&W has just announced four new models (and six variations) of pushpin activated double-locking handcuffs. Their chained Model 100 cuffs and hinged Model 300 are now available with either a pushpin or slot-activated double locking mechanism, as well as for the Model 103 (stainless steel) and Model 104 (high security) handcuffs (which incorporate a nonstandard key.) Smith and Wesson's groundbreaking Model 1 handcuffs-which accommodate both smaller and larger wrists than normal cuffs, and more ergonomically conform to a human wrist-already incorporate a pushpin lock. So now, whether you prefer chained or hinged cuffs, and whether you prefer a pin or a slot double-lock, it's available with S&W quality.

Another consideration for handcuffs is how comfortable they are to use for the officer. Smith & Wesson handcuffs are contoured in such a way that holding them in the "loaded" position and applying them is noticeably more comfortable than handcuffs with a more square profile. A little thing, perhaps, but one that affects technique.

So, no matter what your preferences or job requirements, Smith & Wesson has top-quality handcuffs for your application.
