I shoot at steel hanger targets all the time with my Mark 2, a 9mm and .45s. They are at 35 and 50 yards so I don't think richochets are a problem. The range is very strict on "cross firing" though. Most of the vendors of the steel targets you can buy say don't shoot at them closer than 15 yards. If you shoot straight on, and far enough, it should be ok.
