AR-15s in calibers other than 5.56 are nothing new. Yet one big trend recently is the attempt to perfect the 7.62×39 in AR form. Is that the answer? Or can the AK be refined? That’s the question that these 5 guns from SHOT Show 2015 try to answer.

If you know someone who likes girlie guns, I’ve got just the thing. The Chic Lady from Charter Arms. It even comes in a pink faux alligator case. This could be a good Mother’s Day gift idea, if the Mom in your life likes pink guns. And Charter makes them in other colors, too–some of which are traditionally manly.

Looking for a .357? We’re shooting two of the best–the Smith & Wesson 686 and the Colt Python. So how do these two icons stack up against each other?
