Description
The Hi-Viz LiteWave H3 sight set brings together two proven technologies in one package. The front sight uses a green tritium insert wrapped in an orange outline ring to grab your eye fast in daylight, while the tritium keeps it glowing after the sun goes down. The rear pairs green tritium capsules with Hi-Viz's LitePipe fiber-optic tech, giving you that 24-hour illumination the H3 line is known for. It's a clean upgrade for anyone running a Glock 42, 43, 43X, or 48 who wants a sight picture that works no matter the lighting.
What Makes the LiteWave H3 Different
Most sights make you choose between fiber-optic brightness in the day and tritium glow at night. The LiteWave H3 gives you both at once. That combo means quicker target acquisition on the range and a dependable reference point if you ever need it in low light. Hi-Viz built these for hard use, and they've earned a spot on carry guns, duty rigs, and everything in between.
Built From Steel, Cut to Factory Height
These are all-steel front and rear sights, so they hold up to slide cycling, holster wear, and general knocking around without complaint. Just as important, they're machined to duplicate factory Glock sight heights. That means your existing holsters and accessories should still fit right, and your point of aim stays where you expect it. The set carries Hi-Viz's 12-year tritium warranty against total loss of illumination, which speaks to how long these are meant to last.
Fitment and Install Notes for Your Glock
This GLN521 set is dialed in for the slim-frame Glocks: the 42, 43, 43X, and 48 across generations. Swapping sights on a Glock takes a proper sight pusher and a little know-how, so if you're not set up for it, a gunsmith can knock it out in a few minutes. Once they're on, you've got a sight system that earns its keep every time you draw.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the LiteWave H3 fit my Glock 43X or 48?
Yes. This GLN521 set is designed for the slim-frame Glocks, covering the 42, 43, 43X, and 48 across generations. The sights are cut to factory heights, so they line up the way your original sights did.
What's the difference between tritium and the fiber-optic LitePipe on these sights?
The tritium is a self-powered glowing element that keeps your sights visible in the dark without any batteries or charging. The fiber-optic LitePipe gathers ambient light to make the sights pop in daylight. The LiteWave H3 combines both so you get a bright reference around the clock.
Can I install the LiteWave H3 sights myself?
You can, but you'll need a proper Glock sight pusher tool to seat them correctly, especially the steel rear. If you don't have the right equipment, a gunsmith can handle the swap quickly and make sure everything is aligned. Steel sights driven in without the right tool can get damaged, so it's worth doing right.
How long will the tritium stay bright?
Tritium naturally dims over time, but Hi-Viz backs the LiteWave H3 with a 12-year warranty against total loss of illumination. In real-world use, you'll get many years of dependable low-light glow before it fades meaningfully.
