Thanks for the post.
Just to clarify - I am not a police officer, don't want to sound like I'm claiming to be one, handcuffs are just included in the training of a martial art I do. There are some LEO's in the class.
Maybe someday if I leave Japan I'll join the police force. Til then, just a regular guy.
The cuffs don't seem to be much stiffer than other peerless cuffs, I have also heard on the internet that other people dislike the stiffness of the peerless cuffs, but I chose them over smith and wessons because I like the double locking system more.
Maybe I should buy some of those pink fuzzy cuffs from an adult shop
