Very cool 2.5 !!

One of my all time favorite revolvers is the Phillips and Rogers Medusa. The Medusa chambers, fires, and extracts 25 different cartridges in the .38/9mm/.357 ammunition range. I want another one. The one I had was sold to pay for living expenses as a young married serviceman when beans were more important that bullets to the kids.....who knew ? It was my Melrose H. Tappan III aka Mel Tappan survival era handgun. The phillips and rogers cylinders were at one time available for the 686/681 S&W’s as well the design was incorporated in a small colt handgun called the “survivor” for a short period in time......... It was a great handgun for a world traveler as ya never knew what was available locally ......as to caliber / cartridge combinations.

With more advertised anarchy and zombie biker end of the world as we know it scenarios be they man made or not such a new and improved upon handgun would be high on my list for the emergency locker at home and on the road.

Ya’ll stay safe !!

That is one beautiful gun. Too bad about selling it. Couldn’t you have picked up aluminum cans along a highway for the money?
