That's a pretty sweet rig. I remember Ysabel talking about the Volcanic awhile back and pondering what cartridge it would/should take if made today. I think that one the guy made is pretty cool and fits the gun well.

I think it would definitely be my Blackhawk .45 first and fore most along with my J.C. Higgins bolt-action 12ga. I could do 95% of it with the 12ga but I would need the pistol for long shots at bigger game plus it's a ton lighter to carry and fast into action.
