This meeting led to Pistol being the first male performer on BurningAngel.com.

Pistol went on to star as the Joker in Axel Braun's Suicide Squad: An Axel Braun Parody, and other lead roles, including his 2018 AVN Best Actor Win for Ingenue.

Since 2016, Sartorio has participated in the annual WIH Massive Blood Drive PSA, a collaboration between the international grassroots initiative, Women In Horror Month and Twisted Twin Productions.
