Jeffery what do you mean, "what type od cuffs"? Here OD means off duty. Do you carry cuffs off duty? I know a lot of us do in the US.
We used a variety of makes and models in corrections. I've had a different training, as a CO, a constable, and as an instructor.
I like my personal cuffs the best, aluminum, airweights. They are the best, most comfortable fit for my hand for tactical speed cuffing.
I find hinged cuffs a better fit for my hand than most chain link cuffs. However I prefer chain link cuffs, they are a little easier to get on a subject.
If I'm not being clear, because of differences in technique, training or nomenclature, let me know.
