Frequently Asked Questions
Which Springfield Armory 1911 models does this sight fit?
The HiViz LiteWave Front Sight is compatible with all Springfield Armory 1911 production models, including the popular Range Officer. However, it is not compatible with the GI or Mil-Spec models, which use a different front sight profile and dovetail cut. If you're unsure of your model, check the barrel or frame markings before ordering.
How do I swap the LitePipe colors, and do I need special tools?
The LiteWave sight is designed for quick, easy LitePipe replacement without special tools. Simply push out the existing pipe and press in the new color. HiViz includes green, red, and white LitePipes in the box, so you can match the sight color to your shooting environment or personal preference right out of the package.
Will this front sight work with my existing rear sight?
In most cases, yes. The HiViz LiteWave Front Sight is designed to maintain a standard sight picture height compatible with common aftermarket and factory Springfield Armory rear sights. However, if you are using a non-standard or custom rear sight, it's worth verifying sight height compatibility to ensure proper point-of-impact alignment before heading to the range.
