As mentioned in it's title, "oversized" was what made me want to purchase a set of these restraints to compliment my other pairs of S&W Model 100s and Peerless Model 700s. When they arrived in the mail, to my delight they definitely looked oversized. When going through the field tests, I actually noticed that these restraints should have also mentioned that not only are they to handle the larger wrists of "clients" that would need securing, but also the exact opposite in people with very, very small wrists, such as children or long time substance abusers. This was in fact put to the test where I have had the opportunity to attend a local community event where children were able to sit and play inside various different agency vehicles (cop car, fire truck, ambulace, armoured car, etc) to which I represented the Correctional Officers of my home province with a transport vehicle from the institution. I ended up cuffing 50+ kids of different ages and having their pictute taken with restraints on and not once were the kids cuffed with the M1-1's on them were able to slip them off. It had other agency members ask about them. Now with all this being said, I would not replace normal sized cuffs for these oversized, but rather as an add on. The M1-1's frame is so thick that they could barely fit in a cuff pouch designed for leg restraints, so speed and accessibily is out. Overall I am still rating these cuffs 5 stars going on eBay's rating scale because these cuffs do exactly what they are intended for, plus more. I am not an acclaimed reviewer by any means but when I received an email requesting to take some time out of my day to write about the cuffs, I felt it neccessary for people who were consisering to purchase them already or for those sitting on the fence. Get a pair. Thank you for taking the time to read as well. J-P. Chiasson. CanadaRead full review

I’ve been carrying these model of S&W cuffs for about 16 years now. They are oval cut, as opposed to round, so they fit almost any size wrist (male/female, adult/child). Also, because of that interior oval shape, they can even be used as shackles in a pinch. They do require an over-sized pouch though. Great piece of kit and a good price.

These are well made typical quality Smith & Wesson Handcuffs designed for handling larger individuals. They function as they should.

The cuffs fit bigger wrists and can fit the smallest of wrists as well, although due to it's design it may not fit all cuff cases. Had them for about 4years now and no issues.

I like these cuffs! As a comment above mentioned, they will effectively accommodate both larger-than-average wrists and smaller wrists. They are quite massive and heavy, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. They are quite secure. I found that the double lock was a bit stiff when they arrived, but working a little gun oil into the mechanism fixed it nicely. A great add to my collection!
