Description

The SME Handgun Spinner Target is one of those simple range tools that makes practice a lot more fun. It's a standing steel spinner built around a main beam arm with a small angular paddle on each end. Land a solid hit and the arm rotates around its attachment bar, then the angled pivot point brings it back toward the neutral position so you're ready for the next shot. That audible ping and visible spin beats punching paper any day, and it keeps you honest on follow-ups since you're chasing movement instead of a static bullseye.

Getting the SME Spinner Set Up

Assembly is quick and painless. Two bolts with lock nuts hold the vertical post to the H-frame base, and the target arm slides onto the main shaft held in place by a roll pin. SME ships it pre-lubricated with heavy grease so the action is smooth right out of the box. The kit also includes four ground stakes that drop into predrilled points on the base. Anchoring it down is not optional here since even rimfire hits can tip the unit if it isn't staked, but once it's pinned in place it stays put and takes a beating.

What the SME Handgun Spinner Handles

This one is rated for .38 through .45 caliber soft nose lead handgun rounds at a minimum distance of 30 yards. Sticking to soft-nosed lead is the key to a long life on any steel target, so leave the steel core and high-velocity stuff at home. The paddles measure right around 2.25 inches, which runs on the small side, but that aim-small-miss-small challenge is part of the appeal. Field reports show it happily spinning with everything from .38 Special to 9mm, and even .22 LR will get it moving at distance.

The target comes with adhesive aiming labels to get you started. Those stickers won't survive forever, but that's the nature of steel and a quick shot of spray paint refreshes the face whenever you need it. Toss it in the truck, stake it out, and go.

Frequently Asked Questions

What calibers is the SME Handgun Spinner Target rated for?

It's rated for .38 through .45 caliber soft nose lead handgun rounds fired at a minimum of 30 yards. Sticking to soft-nosed lead protects both the steel and you from splatter. Steel core, jacketed penetrators, and high-velocity loads should be avoided to keep the target in good shape.

Can you shoot the handgun spinner with a .22 rimfire?

Yes, and it's a blast. Testers found that .22 LR will get the spinner moving even out at 30 yards, though it takes a solid hit to complete a full revolution. Just remember to stake it down, because rimfire rounds can still tip the unit if the base isn't anchored.

Is the SME spinner target hard to assemble?

Not at all. Two bolts with lock nuts secure the post to the base, and the target arm slides onto the shaft and locks in with a roll pin. It comes pre-greased, so most people have it together in just a few minutes and are shooting shortly after.

Do I need to stake the target down?

Definitely. The included four stakes drop into predrilled points on the base, and anchoring is a must since even lighter rounds can knock the unit over. Once it's pinned into the ground, it stays stable and keeps spinning shot after shot.
