would it be safe to shoot it with 9mm and 40mm pistols at 15 yard range?

This particular gong and stand, maybe not, but I *HAVE* been hit by my own stripped copper jackets (9mm to .45ACP) from other steel plates at 10-15y ranges. Always wear your eye protection with steel - ALWAYS.

I can't really say that it is safe but we did when we were at the range and nothing bad happened. Just make sure to wear eye protection because we could see the 9mm fragmentation spray out from the target when we uses some of the home protection hollow points and etc. The FMJs we did not see anything like that or on the .40 cal FMJs since that is all we have for the .40s. It did not hurt the target at all though. It was fun to rapid fire from the pistols and get a bunch of 'pings' in a row.

Wow, now I would like to try out. The targets are small, size is 1978 silver dollars & the total size of all targets together is only 10.5 inches wide. I used a gamo pt-85 pellet pistol .17 with flat head pellets at less then 10 foot & yes a chip of metal here & there. But dead center shots I have no damage to targets. So, yes at 25 yards you should be OK. But, you will need to make a platform for target to stand on. I use ¾ inch plywood with drilled holes for target & yard spikes to hold in ground. I hope this helps you

You should be okay. I carry two pistols, eyes, ears, cleaning equipment and about 300 rounds of .38.

I really don't know. I basically shoot pistols and I have pulled 9mm, 38 spl, 357 mag, and 45 acp. without any problems.

Yes the is a safety, and I do recommend the holster, be carful on the reload it can go off in your face.

I think so. We shot it with 9 millimeter and 45 caliber. It dents it and chips the paint off, but that's it. I'm happy with the quality of this for the money.

The gun dryfires alot, so it would be better to keep a small distance between you and your oppenent(s)

Don't own a 40 , but own a 9mm . The 9 M&P; and 40 M&P; share the same slide and frame . So it more than likely will work , nice sites .

No safety but my ten-year-old has been able to use it in a safe manner. In my opinion, it is a good idea to train to not put a finger on a trigger until ready to fire anyway. It is not dark brown, sort of a reddish/maroon type of finish. It is powerful but it was difficult for my kid to sometimes fully compress the spring. For the money it has been a lot of fun and has been accurate enough. We have shot probably 500 rounds through it without any problems, using just the Crossman .22 pellets. I think I paid about $50.00 for it. I added a little oil to the moving parts. It will punch through both sides of a tin soup can with one shot. I am happy with it.

Yes, it has a safety and works well. Liked my P9T copy, just didn't get 300 shots out of it when the plastic flaw gave way.

Personally I have only shot up to 40 yards with no problem. I have a friend who's range is bigger and he shoots to 60 yards and he is happy. If my yard was longer I would try it.

Yes, I have used my M&P; 15 with a 10 round mag (Kalifornia) . Large mags may be a issue.

I guess it depends on what kind of shooting you want to do. Some of the self defense guys around here are shooting at 7 yards, and that would be fine if your loads aren't too hot. I'm used to IHMSA and more powerful loads, and use this target at mostly at 50 yards for them and it dimples, but it can handle a .45 up pretty close I think.

It depends on size of pellet. I shoot the heavy ones very accurately at forty and under. That's the farthest I can shoot in back yard

Yes. It will be fine. I have ran this gun from 140psi down to 70 psi with no problems at all

It would work fine, but might not last long with the recoil of a 12 gage. I got one of these and it broke the first time at the range with a 9mm carbine. You get what you pay for.

Hi The weather got too cold for us to try it out. I think the distance would pertain to your shooting abilities. We will not have it any closer than 25 yards. I hope this helps you. Have a nice day.
