For this purpose, why not get an MP-5, in the same caliber as your
pistols? Leave the long gun for outdoor work.

It is intereseting to compare the ballistics of teh 45-70 to a 30-06.

http://www.remington.com/ammo/ballistics/ballistics.htm

The good ol '06 has much more energy and velocity than the 45. And much
less drop. At 500 yards the 45 has dropped 18-25 feet. It sure would be
hard to hit anything out at that distance. I think the 45 would compare to
a bowling ball better than anything. HA
