Even mild, "cold-rolled" steel is quite efficient at stopping most bullets, if it's thick enough. Most all contemporary pistol bullets will simply flatten or fragment against even relatively thin sheets, that's why steel targets are so often used.

"If fully hardened, 3mm of 301 stainless is more than adequate to stop any 9 mm Luger round I can think of, apart from exotic stuff like dedicated armor piercing bullets, which you're not going to find on gun store shelves," said Iain Harrison, editor-in-chief of Recoil as well as a competitive shooter and former British Army captain.
