All the different ARMS rear flip sights....

[popcan]

Are they all the right height to work with a standard front AR sight when flipped up?

The new 40lp looks pretty nice....

Or is the Troy rear flip better?

yeh, they are supposedly all the same. The Arms is faster to deploy but the troy is better to construct in details. Both work,

I own both types. The Troy is tougher, but the ARMS is easier/faster to deploy. Both work great as BUIS.

I have an ARMS #40L-P on my 10.5 9mm LAR-15. I like it alot BUT in the future I will stick to #40L (Less $$$). The L-P has a notch on top for CQB under 50m. I find that when I focus on the front sight the "notch" gets so blurry that I can barely see it/judge where it is in relation to the front post. (I have 20/20 vision). The large round aperature works much better.

Get the Troy - friends don't let friends use ARMS....

If you go with the arms, get the #40L one (or LP, I guess). The other one (#40) can get in the way of a scope.

THe problem with the L is that it pops out with the small aperature - now it depends on what you need, if you really need something in emergency at close range a large aperture might be worth considering. For that reason I keep uing the other versions instead of the L for my shorties.

Hmmm, good point, I hadn't thought about which aperature pops up first.

Not that I find myself in a lot of close up emergencies at the range.... but still.....

I'm going through the old dilemma of what to use - red dot, eo, etc, and which BIS to use. Maybe the fixed (LMT) rear with eo is best. Keep things simple.

I've got every permutation and combination of BUIS with Aimpoint, Eotech,etc.
If you're going with a red dot, it's hard to beat, or argue against, using a fixed BUIS like the LMT. It's rugged and gives you co-witnessed irons...best of both worlds.
If you opt for an optic, i.e. ACOG, Leup/Nightforce, etc, then use whatever folder that will fit.....The Troy is my choice, as it sits neatly under the optic, when folded.....
