 WINCHESTER W TRAIN & DEFEND™ | There were so many choices that are competing to be my "favorite" of the day. Shooting the new Glock 42 .380 was a highlight for sure as was the Slidefire. But my favorite new item debuted was most definitely the Train and Defend Ammunition from Winchester. |
There are so many choices that are competing to be my "favorite" of the day. Shooting the new Glock 42 .380 was a highlight for sure as was the Slidefire. But my favorite new item debuted was most definitely the Train and Defend Ammunition from Winchester.
Rob Pincus was on hand at the Winchester bay to demo the new ammunition and spent some time with me explaining how this ammunition came to be.
Long story short the guys at Winchester figured out how to match the grain weight of the bullet, powder charge and power factor of practice ammo to be the same as defensive ammo. This is revolutionary! What this means is you can work your marksmanship skill sets with cost effective ammunition and carry defensive ammunition that will feel exactly same in regards to performance and recoil.
Think back to when you were a new shooter, maybe attending your first Girl's Night Out at the range, and you were told to just pick up some ammo at your local sporting goods store and head out to the range, we would have a gun waiting there for you to borrow. The most stressful part is looking at shelf after shelf with boxes of ammo with different grain weight, power factor, velocity, FMJ or Defensive; which one do you get to do target shooting? Then at some point you decide you are ready for concealed carry, now have to start over again with what ammo to buy to defend your life... and you hear it will be more powerful than your practice ammo and beware of the recoil. Winchester has answered these questions and made it extremely easy for any handgun owner to pick up practice rounds for the range and transition seamlessly to defensive rounds you carry everyday.
