Estimate value
€ 6 000
Kal. 9mmLuger, Kal. .357Mag, Kal. .38Special, Nr. BBD-1761, blanker Lauf, Länge 6". Sechsschüssig. Von NASA-Mitarbeitern mitentwickelt. Es können mehr als 25 verschiedene Patronen im Kaliber 9mm verschossen werden. Die Trommel hat hierzu für jede Kammer eine speziell ausgeformte gefederte Klinke, welche die Patrone in der Tiefe fixiert und auch wieder sicher auswirft. Als einzige Faustfeuerwaffe hat der Lauf 9 rechtsgedrallte Felder. Trommel und Lauf aus speziellem Stahl mit etwa doppelter Zugfestigkeit gegenüber anderen Revolverherstellern. Durch die hochfesten Stähle wäre sogar Schießen unter Wasser zulässig. Mikrovisier mit roter Korneinlage. Schlossmechanik von S & W. K-Rahmen SA/DA. Links am Rahmen Phillips & Rodgers-Firmierung mit Patent, rechts Logo. Vollständige, schwarz/dunkelblaue Hochglanzbrünierung mit geringen Gebrauchsspuren. Targethahn und Abzug buntgehärtet. Schwarze Gummigriffschalen. Im schwarzen Universalkoffer. Erstmals auf der Shot Show 1993 vorgestellt, war die Waffe kein kommerzieller Erfolg. Anscheinend wurden nur wenige hundert Stück hergestellt. Vgl. auch DWJ 1994, S. 182 - 188. Technisch hochinteressante Sammlerwaffe.

Phillips & Rodgers, Conroe, Medusa M 47
Cal. 9mmLuger, Cal. .357Mag, Cal. .38Special, SN. BBD-1761, barrel length 6", bright bore. Six shots. Developed in cooperation with some NASA staff, this revolver can handle more than 25 different cartridges in Cal. 9 mm. A special spring loaded latch in each chamber will properly lock and eject the cartridges. This is the only known revolver with 9 grooves in a right-hand twist. Barrel and cylinder are made of extremely hardened steel, exceeding other manufacturer's standards by 100%. Even firing the gun under water is mentioned as an option! Adjustable rear sight with red front sight inlay. Trigger and cylinder mechanisms were taken from a Smith & Wesson K-frame revolver. SA/DA. The left-hand side of the frame marked "Phillips & Rodgers" with patent, the right-hand side with company logo. Original dark high-gloss finish with only minor traces of wear. Target hammer and trigger colour case hardened. Black rubber grips. In black case. First introduced at the Shot Show 1993, the gun did not sell. Apparently only very few 100 were ever made, which makes this a rare and desirable collector's item. See DWJ 1994, pages 182 - 188.
WBK: Attention - For this gun we will need to obtain an export license for you, based on your import permit (if needed in your country) or through your firearms dealer - more info here
