anyone ever seen one?

The Medusa Model 47 (once produced by Phillips & Rodgers, Inc.) is a unique revolver that has the ability to chamber multiple calibers, making it interesting to handgun enthusiasts.

The Medusa chambers, fires, and extracts 25 different cartridges (actually 117, if you count every one ever made, but only 25 were claimed) in the .380/.38/9mm/.357 ammunition range (just about any handgun round with a bullet diameter between .0355 and .0357 inches). Various rounds can be mixed in the same cylinder loading and fired with no problem.

The revolver WAS sold under the CADCO name and listed at the now defunct URL http://www.cadco.com.....ms/pri.htm (don't bother clicking on it). Modern Gun Magazine (which went belly up in 1995) predicted: "This gun will change the industry." (We read that from time to time in gun mags, which have to put enticing titles on their covers to get us to pick them up and maybe buy them.)
