If you live in a place that gets snowy winters, an indoor range has a the potential to get lots of revenue. Especially if you make it ~50 yards or so, which allows people to do a bit of practice with their ARs and PCCs as well as pistols. You could also offer rental services to casuals, or people who want to fingerfuck a gun before buying.
9x25 Dillon would be the absolute best cartridge for a PCC/SMG. Unfortunately, the only commercially available loadings for it are $1/round Hyper ammunition, which for most people is cost-prohibitive. 10mm isn't a bad option if you go for the full-power loads that are actually 10mm, and not just .40 in a longer case. There's a lot more autism in this vein over in the SMG thread >>628552 if you're interested.
That sounded like some kind of fuddlore to me but I looked a little more and your friend is right. It's more difficult to match boolits to specific polygonal barrels because there are no traditional toolmarks on polygonal barrels. You can still match casings to individual guns, though. And if you're a professional hitman that's A) a suspect in an investigation B) called to the witness stand and C) has your gun in police custody as evidence, you've really already lost, even if you end up going free. To the best of my knowledge, the Gen5 Glawks are still using polygonal rifling.
That's not quite true, furries and trannies have one other thing in common: you're not both fags
>my initial assumption is just a carbon-fiber AR15
I hope you're talking about the furniture and not the receivers. and people will bully you even if it's the furniture. You're going to have to be more specific as to how cheap you want it to be; if you don't want your lightweight rifle to snap like a twig in adverse circumstances you're going to have to pay a good bit of cash.

Yeah, no meme materials for you with that budget. Check out the Aero Precision Atlas handguard for conventional aluminum that's on the lighter side but still strong. If you don't mind people bullying you and calling you an InterracialTV shill, the GWACS lower might be up your alley. If not, check out the Skeleton stock that Double Star makes. If after you've priced everything out you somehow manage to be ~200 under budget, check out Smoke Composites for carbon fibermeme furniture. Faxon barrels are the lightest out there and they're a good company, I'd check them out as well.
I've been keeping half an eye on S&W revolver releases for a similar reason. So far, it seems like they'll do it for new models, but haven't bothered to remove it from existing models.
Why are you getting it? If it's a range toy that you're buying out of historical appreciation for a pistol that was very good for its time, sure, why not. If it's because you think .45 AARP is THE CARTRIDGE THAT WON TWO WORLD WARS and you're considering it for a serious self-defense role, consider other options. Whether or not this particular gun is a good deal is going to depend on other factors, since there are 6 million different models named "M1911" on the market right now.
No. Quartz watches are better than mechanical watches in every practical way, including price.
16" barrels are a retarded meme on 5.56 guns, but most normie gunowners don't seem to understand that. Put the upper on Armslist or sell it to your local gun store to recoup some of your losses.

Drop leg holsters aren't the best of ideas, since they'll wear you out faster. Carrying loads on your lower body uses more energy than the same weight on your hips or upper body body. Switch to a hip holster if you can.
I think the best option for carrying shit is a battle belt + chest rig. It allows you to layer your gear, you keep the bare essentials on the belt, and extras on the chest rig. When you need to go more minimalist, you drop the chest rig. If the belt is heavy enough to need suspenders, you're doing it wrong. I think the load bearing equipment thread has some more detail on this strip if you want to check it out.

>Also do battle belts keep your pants up or are they more of a platform for pouches?
They're usually a separate belt that attaches over your main belt. I'm not a big expert on LBE or anything, but I might suggest a couple articles to you. This is part 3 in a series about the battle belt/chest rig combo, you probably only need part 3 but parts 1 and 2 are linked there if you're interested in them, they're more about the general theory of LBE rather than gear advice:
