Description
The Hi-Viz SWR11 is a straight-up upgrade for Smith & Wesson revolvers that came with a factory adjustable rear sight. It replaces that plain black notch with a fiber optic setup that catches light and gives you a crisp, easy-to-find aiming point. The body is machined from solid steel with a black finish, so it holds up to serious recoil and keeps its zero shot after shot. Both windage and elevation are click adjustable, which makes lining up point of aim with point of impact a whole lot less fiddly than the old sight.
What Makes the SWR11 Rear Sight Worth the Swap
The part folks notice first is how much faster the sight jumps out at your eye. The interchangeable LitePipes run 0.070 inches in diameter, big enough to gather plenty of light without washing out your focus. You get both a green and a red pipe in the box, so you can pick whichever color pops best for your eyes and lighting. Green tends to glow brightest in daylight, while red reads well for some shooters against lighter targets, and swapping them takes just a minute.
Fit and Installation of the Hi-Viz S&W Revolver Sight
This one drops into place using the factory elevator screw and T-nut, both of which come included. It fits S&W revolvers with a factory adjustable rear sight made from 1998 to current, spanning the K, L, N, and X frame guns chambered in everything from .44 Special to .500 S&W Magnum. Take note that it does not fit J frame models. Plenty of owners have knocked out the install in under ten minutes at the bench with a properly fitting screwdriver, though there's no shame in handing it to a gunsmith if you'd rather not fuss with it.
Pairing With a Hi-Viz Front Sight
If your revolver also takes an interchangeable front sight, matching this rear unit with a Hi-Viz fiber optic front gives you a full fiber-to-fiber sight picture that's tough to beat for quick alignment. It's a favorite combo for range work, target shooting, and anyone who just wants to see their sights better. Backed by Hi-Viz's limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Smith & Wesson revolvers does the Hi-Viz SWR11 rear sight fit?
It fits S&W revolvers that came with a factory adjustable rear sight, produced from 1998 to current. That covers the K, L, N, and X frame guns in a wide range of calibers. It does not fit J frame models, so double check your frame before ordering.
Is the Hi-Viz adjustable rear sight hard to install?
Not for most folks. It uses the included factory elevator screw and T-nut, and plenty of owners have it done at the bench in ten minutes or less. Just use a properly fitting screwdriver so you don't slip and scratch the gun, or hand it to a gunsmith if you'd rather not do it yourself.
What's the difference between the green and red LitePipes?
Both pipes are included so you can run whichever color your eyes pick up fastest. Green usually glows brightest in daylight and is the popular choice, while red can read better against certain lighter targets. Swapping them out only takes a minute.
Can I pair this rear sight with a Hi-Viz front sight?
Yes, and it's a great combo if your revolver also accepts an interchangeable front sight. Running a Hi-Viz fiber front with this fiber rear gives you a full fiber-to-fiber sight picture for quick, clear alignment. Owners often mention how well the two units complement each other.
