Unfortunately, criminals do not always surrender and come quietly once apprehended. Handcuffs are absolutely necessary to ensure that the law enforcement officer and the public remain safe. Handcuff pouches provide a secure way to carry a set of handcuffs on patrol. We carry options from some of the world's premier manufacturers of law enforcement equipment, including Bianchi, ASP, Safariland, Blackhawk and others.
The simplest handcuff carrying option consists of a single strap that threads through the handcuffs and fastens using a snap. This minimal style offers little protection for the restraints, but it is extremely lightweight and provides easy and rapid access. Higher-coverage carriers are also available. These are typically either open-topped holsters that use a snap fastening at the center of the cuffs to retain them, or pouches complete with top flaps for all-angles protection, fastened down using a hook and loop system or a snap. The open-topped designs are often combination carriers that accommodate a set of cuffs alongside a spare magazine or another piece of tactical equipment. Some models are also designed to hold more than one pair. Like other law enforcement equipment, handcuff pouches are built for durability and wear resistance. Leather is the traditional material, and remains popular for its toughness and its professional appearance. High-strength nylon, Cordura and molded laminate materials also see extensive use, being easier to care for than leather as well as significantly lighter. The pouches are usually intended to attach to a standard size duty belt. However, some models are also compatible with MOLLE and other webbing styles for increased versatility, while others fit belts smaller than the standard 2.25 inches of a duty belt.
