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!
π¨ππΊπΈ Peerless 730C Superlite Zombie Green EXTREMELY Lightweight Handcuffs [NIJ]
These are the Peerless 730c in Zombie Green. They look amazing! Lovely bright green. They have all the same features as regular peerless chain link handcuffs but half the weight of average handcuffs.
They only weigh 5.2 oz or 141 grams, which is INSANE! They are so lightweight that they genuinely feel like toys. They have a ceramic finish for the colour, so they already feel less metal-like and if you put them in your pocket to warm them up and then hand them to someone, they would put money on them being a toy handcuff! They'd put them on and be like uh oh.... the're not toys.... are they?! lol. They are NIJ certified, so they have all the same strength and security requirements fulfilled that you'd get from their normal weight models of handcuffs.
They are aluminium or aluminum based handcuffs, which is how they get their very low weight. Officers sometimes like to buy these because they can carry 2 pairs of handcuffs and not add any extra weight to their duty belt. Or just carry the one pair and reduce the weight on their belt.
They are a bit more expensive than their regular models, but if you want a pair of lightweight handcuffs, these are the lowest weight ones I have ever owned. Kyung Chang are probably the next lightest and then Yuil aluminium models after that, but these are all American made Peerless Superlite handcuffs!
The nice colours they make, help you to identify your cuffs vs your colleagues cuffs, or just to have a nice personal style if you use them for non-official purposes..... :D
Because they are so light, when you press them down on the wrist, they do not swing through as far as their more weighty standard relatives, because the bow does not have as much weight. That said, they do have a nice positive rapid lock, but you just will have to click them in farther than you might otherwise, which is nothing new really, because in any case you always need to tighten handcuffs to the proper level of tightness anyway.
Enjoy!
