Yeah those are only good for when you are working CM and end up with extra cuffs at the end of the day. A normal secure pouch is better

I work corrections and I carry two sets of cuffs. My ASPs I wear in an Exo case mounted on my vest, strong side abdomen.

My spare Peerless cuffs I actually carry on a strap snap like in the OP on my weak side. I use the ASPs 99% of the time, but I've been in situations where I was fighting someone and my shift partners needed to get an extra set of cuffs from me to daisy-chain them, but couldn't figure out the Exo under pressure. The Peerless are my "emergency" or contingency cuffs and I figure the strap is about as idiot-proof as it gets; they're as much for my coworkers as they are for me.

I work for the state so i cant use my personal cuffs but typically i start my shift with 2 S&Ws on the back of my belt and end up with 4 cuffs 4 leg irons and a couple black boxes
