A grip for a handcuff pair comprises a pair of opposed bodies each comprising a pair of wristlet lock capturing members which capture the wristlet lock portions of the handcuff pair therebetween. At least one of the pair of wristlet lock capturing members is joined together by a hinge disposed between the wristlet lock portions of the handcuff pair and is substantially located over a bendable joint of a link member joining the wristlet lock portions together into the handcuff pair.
