The Phillips & Rodgers M47 Medusa is a unique revolver built on a Smith & Wesson K frame, designed to fire multiple calibers including .357 Magnum, .38 Special, and 9mm Parabellum.

The Phillips & Rodgers M47 Medusa is a unique multicaliber revolver built on a modified S&W K-frame, designed for survival scenarios with its ability to fire numerous calibers. While mechanically innovative with its patented six-fingered extractor, it suffered from poor accuracy with shorter cartridges like 9mm due to excessive freebore. Despite its high manufacturing quality, its commercial failure is attributed to its high price and niche utility, making it more of a collector's curiosity.
