With a growing number of new shooters entering the market every day, Winchester developed a line of ammunition to aid in the selection process as well as make it easier to shoot. The W Train & Defend series provides more than enough stopping power with less recoil making it a great choice for new or recoil-sensitive shooters.
The W Train & Defend ammunition was designed to be a shooting system giving consumers a straightforward process when choosing training and personal defense ammunition. The Train series features reduced recoil training ammunition, lead-free primers for improved indoor range acceptance and ballistics to match their Defend counterparts. These target rounds feature brass shellcases with full metal jacket bullets and a prominent "T" on the box to make them easily distinguishable from the Defend ammunition.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for

particular item.
The 45 ACP (45 Auto) was designed by John Browning in 1905 for his prototype semiautomatic pistol that eventually became the legendary Colt 1911, using a .452-inch bullet. Browning proposed a 200-grain bullet; U.S. Army Ordnance, smarting from reports of poor performance of the 38 Long Colt in the Philippines, increased bullet weight to 230 grains for greater stopping power...and the 45 ACP as it is today was adopted in 1911. It remains an iconic and popular handgun cartridge for personal defense and competition, and was used by the U.S. military in submachine guns (Thompson and M3) through the 1970s. Although largely replaced by the 9mm for military use and the 9mm and/or 40 S&W in the law enforcement community, the 45 ACP is still used by the U.S. military and numerous law enforcement agencies in various applications. The standard load remains a 230-grain bullet at 780 to 850 fps, but lighter, faster bullets from 165 to 200 grain, delivering a bit less recoil, are also available.
