i would think so, as they are loaded to less pressure than a solid bullet standard velocity load.

Yes, they will be OK in that gun. Be careful of ricochets, they will come back at you even off relatively soft surfaces like wood.

Yes they are safe.

My wife has killed a bunch of snakes with them on our place with her Airweight Centennial...

In fact night before last she killed a 29.5" Southern Copperhead with it.

In fact while I was typing the above post I heard a gunshot, went outside and she had killed another snake in the pond, a Diamondback Watersnake.
