He makes his own ammo from cut-down .40 S&W. The entire is cartridge (COAL) is necessairly shorter than a .22 LR...

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.

What I'd rather do, frankly, is write to Davidsons or Taylors and see if they couldn't interest Uberti in making 1000 of em up. They could sell em as 1 of 1000 and make a darned fortune. The C45s, at 1.225 max OAL is perfect, and would make a dandy "real" pistol that could do about anything.

The C45S is too long...

His cartridge is .812 COAL...

Hmmm... make it SASS legal and it's a sure fire winner!
