Description
The stock rear notch on a Taurus G3 or GX4 gets the job done, but it disappears in low light and against busy backgrounds. The Hi-Viz LiteWave TRLW11 fixes that with a bright, easy-to-find rear reference that pulls your eye straight to center. The exoskeleton frame wraps around an integral LitePipe lock, so the fiber stays put through recoil and rough handling while keeping a low, snag-free profile that plays nice with your holster.
What the LiteWave TRLW11 Brings to Your Taurus
This is a rear-only sight built for the Taurus G3, G3 Tactical, G3C, GX4, GX4XL, and GX4 Carry. It runs a 0.140-inch factory-height notch, which keeps your point of impact where the pistol was designed to shoot when paired with a factory or compatible front sight. Hi-Viz went with all-metal construction here, not plastic, so it holds up to daily carry and range abuse without complaint.
Swapping LitePipes on the LiteWave Rear Sight
One of the best parts of the LiteWave line is that the LitePipes come out and swap. This one ships with green and red so you can match the color to your eyes and your lighting, and replacement pipes are cheap and easy to find down the road if one ever wears out. The fiber gathers ambient light and glows, giving you a fast, high-contrast aiming point in daylight. Worth noting: these are fiber-optic, not tritium, so they shine in daylight and shade rather than pitch black.
Getting the TRLW11 On Your Slide
Installation is a dovetail swap. If you're comfortable with a sight pusher or a punch and brass hammer, plenty of folks knock it out at the bench in a few minutes. If dovetails aren't your thing, any gunsmith can set it up in short order. Hi-Viz backs the sight itself with a limited lifetime warranty, with the LitePipes treated as a normal wear item.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Taurus pistols does the LiteWave TRLW11 fit?
The TRLW11 is designed for the Taurus G3, G3 Tactical, G3C, GX4, GX4XL, and GX4 Carry. It's a rear-only sight, so it drops into the factory rear dovetail on those models. If you have one of those pistols, you're good to go.
Are the LiteWave TRLW11 sights night sights?
No, these are fiber-optic sights, not tritium. They pull in ambient light to glow bright in daylight and shade, but they won't light up in total darkness. If you want a glowing dot in the dark, look at Hi-Viz's tritium H3 sets instead.
Can I change the color of the fiber on this rear sight?
Yes. The LiteWave design uses interchangeable LitePipes, and this sight ships with both green and red so you can pick what shows up best for your eyes. Replacement pipes are sold separately and swap out easily if one ever gets damaged or worn.
Do I need a matching front sight with the TRLW11?
The rear runs a 0.140-inch factory-height notch, so it lines up with a factory or compatible front sight without throwing off your zero. Many folks pair it with the matching Hi-Viz LiteWave front sight for a full fiber-optic setup. It works fine with the stock front if you'd rather just upgrade the rear.
