Description

Getting on target quickly comes down to how fast your eye finds the front sight, and the HiViz LiteWave for Springfield 1911 gives you a bright fiber optic dot that stands out in just about any light. The wave-style exoskeleton design exposes more of the LitePipe to gather ambient light from all angles, so you get a crisp, glowing aiming point whether you're on an indoor range or out in bright sun. It's a straightforward upgrade over a plain black stock front blade that can wash out or disappear against a dark target.

What Sets the LiteWave 1911 Front Sight Apart

The whole thing is machined from a one-piece steel body, so there's real strength behind that fiber. The skeletonized frame acts like a protective cage around the LitePipe while still leaving plenty of surface open to soak up light. It's holster friendly and built to take a beating on the range or in the field. This is a factory-height front sight, so it plays nice with your factory rear and keeps your point of impact where you expect it.

Swap Colors to Match Your Eyes

One of the best parts is the interchangeable LitePipe system. The sight ships with green, red, and white pipes measuring 0.090 inches in diameter, and a replacement tool is included so you can switch them out in seconds without a trip to the gunsmith. Green tends to pop for most eyes, but some folks shoot better with red or white, and having all three in the box lets you experiment.

Fitment Notes Before You Buy

This one is cut for Springfield 1911 production models with a dovetailed front sight, and that includes the Range Officer. It does not fit GI or Mil-Spec models, so double-check your pistol before ordering. If you want a matched setup, HiViz also makes a companion LiteWave rear sight designed to run alongside this front. Installation is a simple dovetail job, and plenty of owners knock it out at home in a few minutes with a sight pusher or a punch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the LiteWave front sight fit my Springfield 1911?

It fits Springfield 1911 production models that use a dovetailed front sight, including the Range Officer. It does not fit GI or Mil-Spec models, which use a staked or different front sight setup. Take a look at your front sight cut before ordering to be sure.

Do I have to pick a LitePipe color when I order?

No, all three come in the box. The sight ships with green, red, and white LitePipes plus a replacement tool, so you can try each and keep whichever gives you the clearest sight picture. Green is the most popular, but red and white work great for some shooters.

Does this work with my factory rear sight?

Yes, it's a factory-height front sight designed to pair with the stock rear, so your point of impact stays where you expect. If you'd rather run a matched fiber optic setup, HiViz makes a companion LiteWave rear sight for the 1911.

Is the LiteWave sight tough enough for regular carry and range use?

It is. The body is machined from a single piece of steel with a skeletonized exoskeleton that shields the fiber while still gathering light. It's holster friendly and built to hold up to hard use on the range or in the field.
