| I'm in the market for a fixed rear sight for an lmt built I'm finishing up. I have a few midwest, promag, and yhm flip rear sights and don't like any of them. They have to much play and don't seem solid. So here is what I have so far, the lmt and larue fixed rear, which I'm not to sure about the knobs and screws sticking out, and the daniel defense which I'm leaning towards. I just wanted some opinions of what you guys use, how you like them, and what you think. Thanks |

I considered those as well when I was thinking about a fixed rear sight.
I was leaning more tword the LarRue fixed unit as I really didn't need the added range adjustment the LMT offers. I liked the design of teh LaRue as well. The DD wasn't around when i was looking for one, so i can't comment on that. |
| I haven't used either of them, but have been looking at the Larue and DD for my next build.. Personally, I'm probably going with the Larue, simply because the DD has that cut out area. It's not a big deal, but I'm planning on a mono-rail forearm like the CASV, so the cut out of the DD wouldn't look right... Plus Larue is located just south of where I live. |

What sight is this? Im leaning towards the DD. Im just thinking simple is better thats what im going for on this build. If SHTF i can grab it, it works, simplicity is better. |

I have 2 LMTs and 1 LaRue w/A2 ap. The LMTs are both on LMT uppers and are the primary sighting system on these uppers. The LaRue is a BUIS behind a T-1. Its really about aesthetics and personal preference between the two IMHO. They are the standard that all other fixed BUIS are measured against.
I like the way the LMT looks on the LMT uppers, and since they are the only sights QD was not a feature that was important to me. I like the lower profile (not height, but smaller over all) of the LaRue in the BUIS role. I don't notice it unless I look for it in the lower 1/3. I have no experince with the Troy or DD fixed rear sights. I have owned 2 Troy folding rear BUIS and prefer them over anyother folding BUIS. The LaRue is $30 cheaper than the LMT, unless you find a used LMT on the EE. I have seen them for as low as $75 there. Watch out for Airsoft and UTG clones of both sights. |
