AR500 Rimfire/Handgun Target – 5 Inch Gong – 1/4 Inch Steel
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS AND FITMENT BEFORE PURCHASE.
The Caldwell AR500 Rimfire/Handgun 5" Gong is a 1/4" steel target built for rimfire and non-magnum handgun calibers. The lighter 1/4" AR500 plate gives more movement and a louder ring with lower-energy rounds than heavier rifle-rated steel.
Fitment
- Rated for rimfire cartridges.
- Rated for non-magnum handgun cartridges.
- Not a centerfire rifle target.
- Uses 1/2" bolt mounting for compatible Caldwell target hangers.
Does NOT fit
- Not for centerfire rifle use.
- Not for magnum handgun use unless Caldwell specifically rates that caliber for this plate.
What it does
This gives rimfire and handgun shooters a small steel target that reacts, rings, and makes practice more engaging than paper alone.
Why it’s worth it
A 5" steel gong is useful for tightening up fundamentals without needing a giant target. It gives honest feedback fast — good hits ring, bad hits make you stare at your life choices.
