Has anyone else noticed that the dimple on the newer 700c are elongated instead of the usual circle dimple? I have a set of 700c in my collection from when they first came out with the circle dimple. My wife is a corrections officer and I noticed her 700c from work have an elongated dimple. Any ideas on when and why they decided to change this?

I think there is a mismatch of terms here. Do you mean the boss rivet that the single strand (arm that moves) swivels around on? If not, what is this dimple?

I believe that the reference was made to the indention that is circled in black on the lefthand cuff. Its purpose is to trap the swing through arm and keep the teeth in contact with the cuff's locking pawl in the event of the swing through arm being cut. Used on "ditched jaw" handcuffs. Hope this helps to clarify things.

Ah don't worry about it. It is only part of the ditched jaw functionality. Which is of limited usefulness in my opinion. Anyone with any intelligence would cut off a cuff near the top so it can swing open, that tech is only useful if someone cuts it lower near the rivet.

The milled groove in the bow and semi punched detent is an inovation to resist the bow from being forced away and disengaged from the pawl by means of bending or flexing the double stands of the frame.

(note! hacksaws for cutting handcuffs for escapes have been outlawed for a while now, so it isn't happening. neither are cakes delivered with saw blades within them)

you did it again, it's 'payer' not prayer. A prayer is a fool that repeats the same pointless exercise over and over and never get the out come they are looking for.
