for Police i just had someone tell me that they have a 6 pin version of the 94s could this be true ? from what i know the 94s have a 4 pin could there be a higher security version of the 94s available and if so how rare are they or the keys for them.

Mmm, 6-pins are commonly found in tubular locks (such as "ACE") that are commonly sold in padlocks, alarm switches, etc.

....I have several different "Restricted" model #94s...and they all have their own 4-pin combinations.

Maybe your friend meant that there are (at least) 6 different "key-combinations" that the handcuffs can be factory set to?

This book will answer your questions (as mentioned on this site's "Books For Handcuff Collectors"):

How to Open Handcuff Without Keys by Carl Roper, 1979. Published by Desert Publications this book does just what is says, it presents a detailed discussion of how to open handcuffs without keys. Detailed instructions for making and using shims and picks are presented. A detailed description of the Smith & Wesson Model 94 high security handcuff is presented.

Can you ask that "someone" to confirm that he has a 6-PIN
S&W #94 handcuff?

You just might get more detailed info. here - if you weren't signed in as "Anonymous".

(After all, the 4-pin Restricted #94s are STILL in use in parts of the country).

I have never heard of a 6-pin version from any other collector in the past 30 years. I'm suspicious, but open-minded. A photo or more information would be most interesting.

Could these be the ones that the person is referring to They are Restricted but i doubt if there a 6 pin http://www.blacksteel.com/hcs/index.cgi ... t=6&mode=1
