If you guys like the Judge and Governor, you're gonna love . . . the MEDUSA M47 !!!








The Phillips & Rogers Medusa Model 47 is a 6-round revolver that can chamber 25+
calibers in the 9mm / .38 range [or 100+ calibers if you want to get REALLY obscure],
including [but not limited to]:


.380 ACP
9×18mm Ultra
9mm Glisenti
9×19mm Parabellum
9mm Browning Long
9×21mm
9×21mm Gyurza
9×23mm Largo
9×23mm Steyr
9mm Largo
9×25mm Mauser
9×25mm Dillon
9mm Winchester Magnum
.356 TSW
.38 ACP
.38 Super
9×23mm Winchester
9×18mm Makarov
.357 Magnum
.38 Casull
.38 Short Colt
.38 Long Colt
.38 Special
.38 Super Comp
.38 S&W
.380 Revolver Short
.380 Revolver Long
.38-40 Winchester





The cylinder was designed by Jonathan Phillips, a computer specialist for NASA
and competition shooter who regularly carried multiple guns of different calibers to
the shooting range. The Medusa was an attempt to solve this, because most of the
weapons that he carried were in the 9mm /.38 range. To withstand the varying
pressures involved in the various rounds, the cylinder is made with mil-spec 4330
modified vanadium steel and is specially hardened. This cylinder is about twice as
strong as any other on the market. It uses special rims and springs to hold rimless
cartridges.


It was most definitely designed as a bug-out / SHTF / apocalypse revolver. It is
tantamount to a jack of all trades, master of none. It suffers from accuracy issues,
so close-range firing is recommended. It's been out of production for decades and is
a holy grail for some gun collectors.
