SME 95GNG Heavy Duty 9.50" NM500 Steel Bullseye Gong for Handgun/Rifle - Black, 10MM

The SME 95GNG is a 9.50-inch steel bullseye gong target built from NM500 steel—a premium hardened alloy engineered to withstand repeated centerfire rifle and handgun rounds. This heavy-duty gong delivers instant audible and visual feedback with every hit, making it ideal for shooters who want to confirm impact without walking downrange. Whether you're zeroing a rifle, running handgun drills, or fine-tuning your fundamentals at the range, the ringing steel response keeps your focus on the shot and your scoring honest.

The 10mm thickness of NM500 steel is serious overkill for most range sessions—that's a deliberate choice. It means the gong shrugs off repeated impacts from common centerfire calibers without cratering, deforming, or spalling dangerously. Longevity matters when you shoot regularly. You're investing in years of range time, not a consumable target.

Setup is straightforward. Two chains attach via u-hooks to a frame (included), letting you position the gong at a safe distance and angle. The gong's flat bullseye profile and classic shape make it easy to aim and easy to score your groups visually. The matte black finish reduces glare and keeps the target in contrast against most backgrounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers can I shoot the SME 95GNG with?

The gong is rated for centerfire handguns and rifles. The 10mm NM500 steel is engineered to handle the impact of standard centerfire rounds without spalling or dangerous ricochet.

What's included with this target?

The gong comes with two chains and a stand frame with u-hooks. You can hang the target at whatever distance and angle your range setup allows.

Why is NM500 steel better for a steel target than regular steel?

NM500 is a hardened, wear-resistant alloy that resists deformation and cratering under repeated impact. It extends the service life of the target dramatically compared to unhardened steel, making it a better long-term investment for frequent shooters.

How do I know if I hit the target?

The gong rings audibly on impact and you'll see the visual strike. This immediate feedback is valuable for zeroing, training, and confirming your shots are on target without having to walk downrange.
