Hidden handcuff key in Glock?

Back in the day, we would lace a handcuff key in our boots when before entering the prison in the event we were taken hostage by the inmates and our own cuffs were used against us. Otherwise I don't see a reason to carry a key on your person without handcuffs. In fact, possesion of a key while being inprocessed in a jail can land you in hot water. Being detained with a handcuff key can lead into an uncomfortable session of 50 questions by LEOs.

That is most likely the reason that SW and Taurus didn't just design the internal lock system on their weapons to be deactivated by a handcuff key.
 
The gap in the rear is there because it would be nearly impossible to mold the grip in the shape it is in, in one piece, without it.

Wall thickness is carefully managed in thermoplastic molding. You can't have an area too thick or it will cool last, warp the part and cause sink marks.

Dan got the right answer but clearly you guys are all still fascinated by the idea of how best to employ handcuffs that has the most kink.... :D
 
Your brain is you #1 life saving tool, and if you are in handcuffs......ummm.... you lost.
 
I'm still wondering at this one... In the only two likely scenarios I can see, I'm either already missing my gun, or already missing my belt.

Sam, did somebody just ask if they could kick a pig?
 
Could they make it big enough for a couple of rare roast beef sandwiches and a tall can of beer? That might be useful.

I was always telling myself that I'd buy a plug for my Glock when I bought one, but in truth, now, I'm just going to leave it as it is. As long as it goes bang reliably, and every time, that's all I ask from it.

OP, the handcuff key idea is interesting, but I suspect that by the time they put the cuffs ON you, they'll have already taken your Glock

Yeppers. I've run Glocks for over a couple decades and can't say the grip gap has been a problem in any way, shape, or form.

Within my first month of work, County came to pick up a prisoner and while I was searching his property before turning his shoes back to him, I found a cuff key in the laces. I did not process him in, but it sure reinforced my tendency to search again when a prisoner is leaving our custody.

IF i was being chased by (the law) and fired all the rounds in the gun, i could then ditch the gun, and grab the cuff key for the inevitable. Just in case I had to run out of the house and only had time to grab the Glock. Only scenario that I could see the key coming in handy. Except the first one I described.

Roll up some cash for bribe money.
 
Roll up some "protection" of another kind and shove them up inside there. After the cops catch you, you're going to want them where they put you.
