RARE Phillips and Rodgers Medusa 47 Tiger Stripe Revolver 4” Barrel
Description: Up for your consideration is a very rare Phillips and Rodgers Medusa 47 in the tiger stripe pattern. It holds six rounds and has a 4” barrel. The Medusa is a very unusual revolver produced by Phillips & Rodgers that have the ability to chamber multiple calibers in the same revolver. The Medusa chambers, fires, and extracts 25 different cartridges in the .38/9mm/.357 ammunition range. The obvious advantage of this is that the person can use the revolver for targeting shooting with a lighter and less expensive caliber and switch to a heavier caliber for self defense. The reason why the revolver can use multiple calibers is because of its special cylinder. The Medusa six shot cylinder design originally was designed by Jonathan Phillips. He was also a computer specialist for NASA and a competition shooter and he regularly carried multiple guns of different calibers to the range every time he went to shoot. The Medusa was an attempt to solve this because most of the weapons he carried were in the 9 mm /.38 range. This does not include the .357 sig because the round is a .40 caliber cartridge that necks down to .357. To withstand the varying pressures involved in the various rounds, the revolvers cylinder is made with mil spec 4330 modified vanadium steel (the same alloy used in the Gatling gun barrels of F-16 Falcon fighters) and is specially hardened. This cylinder is about twice as stong as any other revolver cylinder on the market. The Medusa uses special rims and springs to hold rimless (automatic pistol) cartridges. The Medusa Model 47 is patterned after the Smith & Wesson K-Frame pistols. The Medusa's frame constructed from 8620 steel which has been spacially hardened. The match grade barrel is constructed from 4150 chromemoly steel with available barrel lengths of 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 inches. The barrel has 9 rifle grooves instead of the normal 6 to 8 for revolvers. The revolver has a matte blue finish. The grips are rubber. The weapon comes standard with adjustable rear sights and changeable front sights. I have never seen a Medusa 47 in tiger stripe. Only 250 of this model were sold in the USA. It is in very good condition. There is one tiny nick on the trigger guard (see last photo). We will entertain all reasonable offers. FedEx Air with insurance will run $50.00. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at (479) 216-0668. Liberty Gun and Loan 4730 Hwy 71 S Hatfield, AR. 71945.
