With claims of them breaking, bending, or being damaged via firing short cartridges like 9x19mm. In the case of the M47 many complaints were had in regards to the cylinder star. I have gone into more detail regarding this topic here: While many claim that revolvers are nearly flawless in their design, this is often far from true.
But it certainly doesn't help its case in being an effective weapon against zombies where destroying the brain is the only practical method of dispatching them. You might get away with this because a handgun is typically for use in close quarters. Resulting in bullets just flying out sideways or otherwise in a uncontrolled manner. 30-.32cal and 7-8mm ammo as the bullets will likely never even touch the rifling. With the problem being especially true for. mean the bullet may not engage the rifling and thus, may not be stabilized at all. Either the name is a marketing term, it's the bullet size itself, or it's the diameter of the barrel. While many cartridges claim to be 9mm or.
357mag revolver which is modified to use moon clips.Įven if you did get such ammo the different sizes in bullet diameter, bullet length and weight, and bullet design mean that the point of impact compared to the point of aim will likely be all over the place. All of which could be utilized in a typical. Realistically the M47 is capable of using 4 commonly available cartridges. 32acp for my Beretta for a few months with little success unless I went out and bought a large order of it via the internet and paid the cost of hazmat fees. 380acp, and 9x19mm are really made in significant numbers within most countries and especially the US. The practicality of doing this is pretty small.Įspecially since out of this list only. While it is neat that it can easily load roughly 25 different cartridges such as. 380ACP falling too deep in to fire.As u/Grn_Trees and others have stated the revolver has a few issues. Right now I'm leaning VERY heavily toward buying the Blackhawk, and possibly trying to get the barrel replaced with a longer one (out of personal preference.) Or, swapping the conversion cylinder to a Blackhawk that is more to my liking.īut I'm still a bit worried about the issues the seller mentioned about a couple of the chambers having problems with. I was really hoping to be able to get the answers from jwphillips2. This is why i'm asking for people with experience with the Medusa or Medusa conversions. Rather than just assume they didn't know, I have tried to either confirm or disprove this information.
They also didn't know where they had learned this information. I asked why not, and this person didn't know. I had assumed that the conversion cylinder used the same basic extractor-with-fingers as on the Medusa M47 revolver, but based on that catalog picture is seems likely that the Blackhawk conversion cylinder uses a different piece (with similar design.)Īs far as my other questions about cylinder swaps and barrel swaps, this is because a person informed me that the Medusa conversion cylinder could not be swapped to another Ruger Blackhawk. I'm guessing the cylinder on the right is the Blackhawk conversion cylinder based on the design (but i could very well be wrong.)īoth cylinders have those spring-fingers like the regular Medusa M47, but the one on the right looks a bit different from the regular Medusa. Thanks for posting that picture from the catalog. I've never seen any replacement parts for the Blackhawk conversion cylinder, and I'm a bit worried that the seller indicates a couple of the chambers have an issue holding rimless rounds (specifically. However the only ones I have seen were for the standard Medusa.
I do not have any source for replacement parts, but over the years I have seen Medusa "Parts kits" for sale. Thanks for the detailed reply, and follow-up questions. Thank you everybody for the input and opinions.
