Algemas Brazil AB304 CONSTRICTOR Bright Green Handcuffs ~ Limited Edition for DRM

These are a very special limited edition pair of Algemas Brazil AB304 "CONSTRICTOR" police handcuffs. This pair is in an extremely bright and shiny green colour and is exclusive only for the Doncaster Restraint Museum (DRM).

I got the one in all green, but there is also a model where the bows are black. If you want to see that one I would point you to @CoxysPicks who has a video that shows both models. Only 50 of each was made and apparently this colour is only for DRM.

These are a single pawl, double locking handcuff that have some nice features. They have flat contact points, similar to ASP, which makes it less likely to damage the wrist when pressed on, since the force is spread evenly over a wider area. They also feature twin keyholes, meaning no matter which way the handcuffs are put on, the officer always has access to the keyholes.

The chain links are longer than typical police handcuffs, meaning they could be used to secure someone who is on the larger side. Not only this, they have quite a wide maximum wrist size (though not as large as TCH maximum size) and they close quite small. So over all, these are quite a capable pair of NIJ rated police handcuffs.

They are smooth in operation and the colour is particularly interesting, as it seems to change depending on the light and viewing directions. As shown in the latter part of the first section of this video, it goes from a goldy bright sparkly green, down to a matt darker lime green. Very cool and interesting to see in person. I think my video displays this quite well.

I would say this is a very nice pair of handcuffs. You can buy this model (though not in green) direct from the manufacturer Algemas Brazil. They also sell other models and also leg irons.

I would be shocked if I ever saw another green handcuff as green as this ever again. It's truly astonishing how bright green these are! They make the zombie green Peerless 730C look like it has a second hand paint-job while out in a sand storm lol. Just so nice.

I did notice there is a bit of the coating chipped off on one chain link, but it is common for chain links to get colours worn off since they are always clinking about freely. A couple of small blemishes here and there from manufacturing but all in all I absolutely love these. Good quality amazing looking handcuffs with since nice features. If they changed to a 3 pawl design with a split spring, double locking bar activator and some anti-shim, I would say it's one of the best on the market. But as it stands it is already good when you compare these Brazilian handcuffs to any typical police handcuff used in North America. It does everything Smith & Wesson and Peerless standard models can do, only better.

These weigh 338 grams
S&W weigh 289 grams
Peerless weigh 279 grams

So they are slightly on the heavier side but it's not too bad.

Enjoy!
