Over the years Peerless® has made changes to the original handcuff but the basic swing through style has remained the same. Until the late 1950's the standard Chain Link Handcuff was the only product sold by Peerless®. In 1957 a 4.5 oz. alloy handcuff was introduced but was discontinued after less then 10,000 pairs were produced. It is now coveted collectors item. The 4.5 oz. handcuff was replaced by the 7.0 oz. handcuff. This cuff was a thinner version of the basic 10 oz. handcuff and was manufactured from 1962 to 1982. In 1971 the Peerless® Leg Iron was introduced. The Peerless® Hinged Handcuff was introduced in 1981 and became popular for its added restraint. In 1981 Peerless® introduced its first Waist Chains.
More recently Peerless® introduced its high security handcuff which was developed and patented by Alan Lurie. The design offers an alternative to the typical handcuff lock. It incorporates a MEDECO® high security lock, unique key plans and a registered key control system. In August 2002 Peerless® changed to a raised rivet assembly design on all products. The raised rivet construction improves the strength and tamper resistant of all rivet points.
