🎯 Why the Practice & Defend Combo Is a Game-Changer
🔄 Matched Recoil. Matched Point of Impact.
The TSJ training rounds are engineered to match the ballistic performance and recoil of the HST defense rounds, giving you realistic range sessions that translate directly to real-world defensive performance. You train how you’ll defend—same grain weight, same recoil impulse, same feel.
✔️ Save on Cost, Not on Performance
Using HST JHP rounds at the range can get expensive. The TSJ portion of this combo lets you practice economically while still simulating the feel of your carry ammo. It’s a practical solution for shooters who take preparedness seriously.
