I've never liked steel pistol targets, and try not to go to ranges that use them.

Every once in a while, someone gets shot and killed by a ricochet off a steel target.

I want no part of that.

Heck i've been hit by ricochets off of indoor range backstops. Got hit in the chest with a 115gr+P Sierra Corbon 9mm round that left a BIG bruise on my chest for about 2 months. It felt like i got punched in the chest by a middleweight boxer when it happened. My brother who runs that range has a big divot out of his eyebrow from a ricochet off the backstop too.

For 50m or greater though, I reckon they're plenty safe- but make absolutely sure you wear safety glasses any time you're shooting at steel.
