I don't know anything about the stuff, but it's interesting. What's most interesting is that it's clearly marketed towards Women.

I got a sample of it and it is loaded a bit softer than the AE in my opinion. Haven't chrono'd it yet, but it's supposed to be 950 fps, which would correspond to the way it felt. I would have already published a review but I have to rebuild my entire site before I publish anything else because of a software issue. I'll be sure to post that as well as the gel comparison between the 147 grain "Defend" and PDX1 in 9mm when I get it up. But it does burn relatively cleanly and it's been pretty accurate in my guns so far.

old school tag.
ETA: I ran across a lot of this stuff in Bass Pro recently, but didn't buy any because I'm not familiar with it. |

All Winchester is doing is taking a handful of their USA brand FMJ ammo and a handful of their PDX1 ammo and putting it into new boxes and calling it "Train & Defend" ammo.
Nothing more, nothing less... |

It appears to be loaded lighter than WWB.

It appears to be loaded lighter than WWB. It's also a different bullet and a different primer than either the Super X or the USA. But yeah, other than all of that it's exactly the same 
The bullet in the Defend also looks like the older PDX1 style; it's different than the newest iteration of PDX1 Defender. |

Yeah, I knew the "D" was very similar to the PDX / Ranger but the "T" is supposed to be something new, or so I'm told. Won't have a chance to shoot it until next week sometime. I just am hoping that it is as soft and accurate as the AE9FP 147gr.

I purchased 350 rounds of the stuff. Its good for target practice. Being a 147 grain thought it was pretty accurate out of my Glock 19.
