What would be good options for sighting 10  1/2" flat top railed  pistol.
BUIS, red dot, carry handle irons and what front sight , 1-4 scope, pistol scope?

I probably wouldn't go for all of those, seems like overkill. Maybe leave off the pistol scope. I'd configure the 1-4x on an LT-104 with a piggyback mini dot on the top, then put those angled backup irons on, they work really well.

I have Magpul BUIS on mine.  Looking at a Burris Fastfire II.

Have a vortex 1x4 with a Burris PEPR mount. Fast fire III on top. Works good on my 12.5 barrel 308.

What's the application?  Range toy, HD, truck gun, etc?

I have a 10.5" LMT with a TA01 ACOG on it b/c I grew up on those scopes and even with the short eye relief I like having the iron sights right over top the scope.

Any of those will be fine, except probably the pistol scope unless you plan to shoot with the Sig Arm brace as originally intended.

Have a PSA 10.5" on the way. Will a Burris Fastfire III work on a riser? Have an extra and trying to plan before pistol arrives.

T1 or similar w a true co witnessed round hooded front sight like a HK style and a flip down rear sight.  Front sight can be flip down of course but best left up when shooting QCB style.  Using the front helps line up the gun so you can find the red dot quickly, especially if you do not have a firmly shouldered weapon.

I prefer Aimpoint T-1 style red dots. I have a T-1, H-1, and several Holosuns on my AR pistols and rifles. The Holosuns are a great value and have performed just as well as my Aimpoints in my 'running and gunning'.

I like a red dot on mine.

I have a FFIII in the Burris AR mount on my 7.5".  I like it a lot, but honestly, I like the PA mini RDS just as much and at 1/3 the cost for me, it wins easily.  

That said, my 10.5 5.56 wears irons only, but I have been considering building another with a 1-6 strike eagle.  For all around, I think I'd be very happy with that setup.  

In the end, purpose and preference will determine the best option.

FFIII on 7.5 + KAK flashcan (for length reference)
