The Hi-Viz LiteWave front sight takes the fuzzy factory blade on your Kimber 1911 and swaps it for a glowing fiber optic dot that jumps out the second you present the gun. The trick is the diagonal wave design, which exposes more of the LitePipe so it pulls in light from just about every angle. The result is a bright, easy-to-find front reference whether you're on a sunny range or working in flatter, overcast light.
Rather than a molded plastic housing, this one uses a skeletonized, one-piece steel body. That exoskeleton wraps around and protects the fiber, so the pipe stays put and keeps doing its job through recoil and everyday holster wear. Folks who run these on Kimbers regularly mention how much faster they get on target compared to the plain black factory sight, and the low, rounded profile stays snag-free for carry.
The package includes three interchangeable LitePipes in green, red, and white, plus the little key tool to swap them. Green tends to read fastest for most eyes in daylight, red is a favorite for a warmer high-contrast dot, and white gives you a neutral option. The pipes pop out and back in without special tools, and since they're reusable you can experiment until one just clicks for you. Down the road, replacement Version 5 LitePipes are cheap and easy to source if one ever gets tired or damaged.
This is a front-sight-only piece cut for the standard Kimber dovetail, .330 x .075 at 60 degrees, which covers the vast majority of Kimber 1911 models. It does not fit the .22 rimfire conversion units. Kimber is known for running tight dovetails, so plan on a sight pusher or a quick trip to a gunsmith for a clean, no-drama install. Backed by Hi-Viz's limited lifetime warranty and made in the USA.
It's cut for the standard Kimber dovetail, which is .330 x .075 at 60 degrees, so it covers most Kimber 1911 pistols including popular carry models. The one exception is the .22 rimfire conversion units, which it won't fit. If you're unsure about your specific model, check your dovetail dimensions before ordering.
It goes in the front dovetail like a standard sight, but Kimber is known for cutting very tight dovetails, so it usually takes some persuasion. Most people use a sight pusher or hand it to a gunsmith for a clean fit. Plan on that step rather than expecting it to slide in by hand.
Yes, that's the whole point of the interchangeable LitePipe design. The sight ships with green, red, and white pipes plus a small key tool, and they swap out in seconds without special equipment. The pipes are reusable, so you can try each one and settle on whichever color your eye picks up fastest.
No, this is a fiber optic sight, not a tritium night sight. It gathers ambient light to create a bright dot in daylight and decent light conditions but won't self-illuminate in total darkness. If you want 24-hour glow, look at the LiteWave H3 version, which combines fiber optic with tritium.
