The Volcanic Pistol is a compact pistol. Largely outdated by the time of Red Dead Redemption, the pistol is inexpensive and considered a last resort or a tool of immediate personal protection. But, assuming you receive the "Exquisite taste" achievment for buying this sidearm, the implications of this pistol being powerful are high
