Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone can point me in the direction of some ideas for fixed, low profile, picatinny rail backup iron sights that are currently available to Canadian customers.

Online searches have yielded a few options but nothing I’ve found in stock anywhere that ships to Canada. To be clear, I’m not looking for folding sights or standard AR co-witness height; I’m looking for the lowest profile I can find.

There are lots of airsoft quality ones out there it would appear, but reviews suggest they are made of cheap plastic and some aren’t adjustable, but this is the concept I’m after more or less:

These are some of the real gun style I’ve found made by LPA:

These ones are kind of cool, they allow you to use Glock pistol sights clamped on to your rail:

Anyway, interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for looking!
 
Not sure about Canada availability but the best low profile sights I found were the Bobro Lowriders. They don't quite meet your criteria but thought I'd mention them anyways.
 
I would go with the LPA, it seems that perhaps the other options might be too low.

Improper cheek weld not allowing for a sight picture.

If folding becomes an option, we can get Troy Industries Micro Folding irons. When folded, they are pretty low profile for a backup rifle sight.

HTA Glock sight picatinny mounts are out of stock right from HTA unfortunately.

Here's what the Troy units look like. They are available in both standard and tritium varieties. Not cheap but low to the rail when folded and also pretty low when extended.

They are definitely premium super-durable sights and priced accordingly. PM for details if you want to pursue these.
