Description
Anyone who has hunted or plunked away at the range with a stock Ruger Redhawk knows the factory front sight can turn into a dark smudge the second the light gets flat. The Hi-Viz LiteWave fixes that with a bright fiber optic aiming point that your eye finds quick, whether you're lining up on a target under overcast skies or chasing that last hour of legal light in the woods.
What Makes the LiteWave Sight Different
The magic is in the wave-shaped body. Instead of a flat pipe, the LiteWave uses an angled profile that pulls in ambient light from more directions, so the dot lights up brighter across changing conditions. The whole thing is machined from a single piece of steel, so there's no plastic housing to crack or flex. It's built to take real recoil and rough handling, which matters on a big-bore revolver.
Fitment and Setup for Your Redhawk
This one is designed for Redhawk and Super Redhawk revolvers that use a spring-plunger retained front sight, and it also fits Super Blackhawk Hunter models. It sits at factory height and works with your existing rear sight, so your point of impact stays where you expect it. Worth noting up front: it does not fit the Alaskan models, so double check which revolver you've got before ordering. The steel base uses an internal locking system machined right in, so once it's seated it stays put.
Colors You Can Change on the Fly
You're not locked into one color. The kit includes interchangeable green, red, and white LitePipes plus a replacement tool, so you can set it up how your eye prefers and keep spares on hand. The pipes measure 0.090 inches in diameter and are the Version 5 handgun/rifle replacements if you ever need more down the road. Hi-Viz backs the sight with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, and the whole thing is made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the LiteWave sight fit my Ruger Super Redhawk?
Yes, it fits both the Redhawk and Super Redhawk as long as your revolver uses a spring-plunger retained front sight. It also fits Super Blackhawk Hunter models. It does not fit the Alaskan versions, so check your specific model first.
Do I need to change my rear sight to use this front sight?
No. The LiteWave is a factory-height front sight that's designed to work with your existing Ruger rear sight. Your point of impact should stay consistent with the factory setup.
Can I switch the fiber optic color?
You can. It comes with interchangeable green, red, and white LitePipes plus a tool to swap them, so you can run whichever color your eye picks up fastest. Keeping a spare or two on hand is handy since the pipes are a wear item.
Is the sight durable enough for a big-bore revolver?
It's machined from a single piece of steel rather than plastic, so it's built to handle the recoil of magnum loads and rough field use. Hi-Viz also backs it with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
