You aren't going to believe it but this blind hog found another acorn!

My new ASPs just arrived so I did what I have always done with new toys- I took them apart to see how they worked. And, in the words of Gomer Pyle, "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!" You aren't going to believe what I found! You need to check this out- especially if you are a beginner learning to shim, etc.

Have fun!

Clyde

Will you be selling these as well Clyde ?

Great work Clyde

Don,

Nope! I this is one company I'm not a dealer for. After this find maybe I should change that!

Clyde

Pastor Clyde I think you might want to look into it. before they fix this flaw.

I doubt the manuacturer would see the ability to offset the double-lock via this method as a flaw, but they might want to reconsider their tolerances.

Clyde

I think its Funny that they design a New Cuff and theres so many Flaws with it.

For those who like to pick their cuffs open, I modified the page to include those findings. So if you read it before 12:04 EST, you will want to visit the page again at:

Hehehe... some folks make messing with cuffs so much fun!

Clyde

Great call clyde. I shall have to invest in a pair of these.

I might to one person claimed his fell apart on him. if the company is decent they will redesign these cuffs.

I wonder if the locking module for that person's cuffs fell out because they weren't snapped into place. I can see where it would be easy to have it in but not snapped during the production process.

Just my 2 cents

Clyde

Hello All,
Just a quick note here. I tried Clyde's method (as referenced in the above link) to undo the double lock through the keyhole with a slim shim. Presto, the double lock popped off, then, shimming was easy...This could be a great "opening an untampered with state of the art restraint in full view" presentation. Don't hesitate to take a look. Paul

It is great to know that we have someone. looking out for us now if he can only find a way to pop open the smith and wessons.

Is that a hint Don?

Thanks for the info Clyde. BY JOVE! You've done it again Sherlock!

Yes it's a Hint like the M-100's Hint Hint

Don,

You can use the same string technique for dealing the double-lock on the M-100. The string is harder to hide however.

Clyde

The String ???

Don,

String or thread- go to the picture in the link above. Use the same approach on the M-100s. I wouldn't use that approach if an officer was the one to secure me into the cuffs but for those on here who just like to have fun with cuffs, etc. it is a simple way to overcome the double-lock.

Clyde

Opening the double-lock on a 'side slide' S&W with the keyholes sealed is pretty easy.

Steve

Bravo Clyde! Thanks so much. I just ordered a set of these and look forward very much to working with them.

Yours,

Paul
