This weapon is similar to handcuffs but has a bit more restraint. In this article, you will learn about the history, design, application, control, and pricing of the HANDCOP weapon. 

Handcop History

The HANDCOP, when applied correctly, is the most secure non-metallic restraint available.

It is believed that HANDCOPS first came about when early humans would use parts of animal hides to bind hands together, which would result in a type of rope to cause restraint.

Bronze and Iron Ages

Humans learned how to work with metals during the Bronze and Iron ages. These people could replicate handcuffs with several years of practice into something more substantial. 

This invention was nowhere near the sophisticated handcuffs we have today. Although, this weaponry was quite advised for this period.

Ancient Greek & Roman Times

During the Ancient Greek and Roman time, it is no surprise that there were several thieves and prisoners. Greeks and Romans wanted to develop weapons of which the strongest couldn’t break free.

One of the earliest inventions of handcuffs comes from Vergil, a Roman poet. He wanted to find something other than metal and chains to keep prisoners in captivity. 

Handcop Design Review

The unique design of the HANDCOP Counter Escape Restraint allows for it to be worn like a bracelet.

The Hancop simply slips on around one’s wrist; then, you wrap it around to secure it tightly to the wrist. This carry method ensures that you always have a reliable restraint.

The HANDCOP can also be attached to one’s belt. All you need to do is secure it around your belt and pull it tightly. 

This weapon is among the most popular growing weapons in law enforcement, military use, and government.

Handcop Application

Before attempting to apply the HANDCOP, you must first have control of the subject.

Ideally, the subject should be face down with their hands behind them.

Fully open the HANDCOP, which resembles a BUTTERFLY, with each loop spread outwards to the sides. This sort of acts as a highly tight “zip tie”. You need to make sure the HANDCOP is secured tightly.

To release the HANDCOP, simply undo the overhand knot and pull open the cord around each wrist.

The person you are using this weapon will not be able to escape if it is applied correctly.
