Originally from Astoria Queens, New York, Tommy Pistol now calls Los Angeles, California his home base. During his formative years, Pistol was quite reserved when it came to matters of a sexual nature, stating that he engaged in frequent self-pleasure. Pistol's debut in the adult film industry took place on a rooftop in Brooklyn. Some of his most memorable sexual experiences include filming in Berlin with kink.com and participating in shoots for Public Disgrace in San Francisco. Before embarking on his career in pornography, Pistol worked as a maintenance worker. He also fronted a New York Hardcore band for half a decade and dabbled in sketch comedy. Pistol landed his first adult scene through a personal connection who introduced him to Joanna Angel. Among his top literary picks are The Cell by Stephen King, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson, and the crime thriller Blindsided by Jay Giles. His preferred film is Evil Dead 2, citing its perfect blend of horror and humor. Pistol has a soft spot for horror movies, as they evoke strong emotions akin to comedies. When it comes to bedroom preferences, Pistol favors the spooning and cowgirl positions. Despite his on-screen persona, he manages to maintain anonymity in public. Outside of filming, his primary focus lies on his family.
