I would also accept a big stack of books as a safe backstop. From your earlier description, it sounded as if you were just using an ordinary interior wall, without somehow reinforcing it.
It's a rather small area, and it definitely makes me uncomfortable. And if I ever actually fired a round at the books and missed, there would be big problems. And even if I never missed, I can't imagine none of my neighbors would hear the shot. That could be very problematic.

No, I think it's actually not a safe practice. I need to get a training barrel like you suggested.
