Hi-Viz LiteWave H3 Tritium/Litepipe Night Sights - Green Front w/White Ring, Orange Rear - Fits 1911 Models w/Fixed Rear Sight (KBN421)

The Hi-Viz LiteWave H3 Tritium/Litepipe night sights bring reliable low-light performance to your 1911 with fixed rear sight. This sight set pairs tritium illumination—good for 24 hours without any external power source—with Hi-Viz's LitePipes technology, so you get a sight picture that's usable in bright daylight, dim indoor ranges, and complete darkness. The green front sight with its white ring stands out fast in direct light, while the orange rear sight gives you a clear sight picture across a wide range of conditions. If you shoot your 1911 at dawn, dusk, or indoors, or you want peace of mind that your sights will glow in any emergency, this is the upgrade you're looking for.

Installation is straightforward on any standard 1911 with a fixed rear sight dovetail. The sights use factory sight height, so they'll co-witness with your slide and frame without modification. The tritium tubes carry a 12-year warranty, reflecting the maker's confidence in their durability. These sights won't replace a dedicated light source for serious low-light work, but they'll get you on target when you need to draw in poor conditions or when your flashlight isn't an option.

Hi-Viz has been making sights for hunters, sport shooters, and defensive users long enough to know what works: bright in the day, glowing at night, tough enough to handle daily carry and hard use. The LiteWave H3 follows that formula, combining two proven technologies in one sight set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these sights fit my 1911 Micro?

No. These sights are designed for standard 1911 models with fixed rear sight dovetails. They do not fit Micro 1911 variants.

Do I need a light to use these sights at night?

The tritium tubes glow continuously without external power, so you can see the sight picture in darkness. However, for defensive use, a handheld light or weapon light is still the best practice for target identification and engagement in low-light conditions.

Will these sights require any gunsmithing to install?

No. These sights are factory height and fit standard 1911 fixed rear sight dovetails without modification. Installation is straightforward if you're comfortable swapping sights; a gunsmith can install them if you prefer.

How long will the tritium stay bright?

Tritium has a half-life of about 12 years, meaning the sights will glow at roughly half their initial brightness at the 12-year mark. Hi-Viz backs the tritium with a 12-year warranty. After that period, the sights will continue to function but will be noticeably dimmer.
