The Hi-Viz LiteWave fiber optic front sight for Springfield Armory 1911 pistols brings bright, fast sight acquisition to your carry or range gun. If you're running a Springfield Armory 1911—whether it's a Range Officer or other standard production model—this modular front sight replaces your factory iron with a high-visibility aiming point that works in low light and bright daylight alike. The fiber optic design gathers ambient light to produce that glowing dot shooters love, giving you an edge when speed counts.
What sets the LiteWave apart is its versatility: you get three interchangeable LitePipes in your choice of colors—red, green, and white—so you can tune the sight to your preference or swap it depending on your environment and lighting conditions. The .090" diameter pipes fit the sight tube securely, and swapping them takes seconds. It's the kind of practical flexibility that makes sense for anyone who shoots their 1911 in varied conditions.
Installation is straightforward on all Springfield Armory production 1911s, though it's worth noting this sight does not fit GI or Mil Spec models. If you're looking to upgrade your tactical or defensive 1911 with a sight that combines visibility, modularity, and field-proven reliability, the Hi-Viz LiteWave deserves serious consideration.
