Who This Is For
The LiteWave H3 is purpose-built for 1911 owners who demand a single sight system that performs equally well in bright daylight and complete darkness. It's an ideal upgrade for concealed carry holders, home defenders, and serious range shooters who want the speed of fiber optics combined with the always-on glow of tritium — without having to choose between the two.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the HiViz LiteWave H3 fit my 1911?
The LiteWave H3 is designed to fit most standard full-size and Commander-length 1911 pistols that use a fixed rear sight. It is not compatible with 1911 Micro or Officer-sized models. If you're unsure whether your specific 1911 variant is supported, consult HiViz's fit guide or contact Goodland Guns for assistance before ordering.
How does the LiteWave H3 differ from standard tritium night sights?
Standard tritium sights rely solely on radioactive tritium gas for a dim glow in low light, which can look relatively faint in bright daylight. The LiteWave H3 integrates HiViz's LitePipe fiber optic technology alongside the tritium element, so the front sight blazes with collected ambient light during the day while the tritium takes over automatically in darkness — giving you the best of both technologies in a single sight set.
How long will the tritium in these sights last?
Tritium is a mildly radioactive gas that naturally decays over time, gradually reducing brightness. HiViz backs the tritium in the LiteWave H3 with a 12-year warranty, reflecting the expected usable lifespan of the illumination. After that period the sights remain fully functional as standard iron sights, though the self-luminous glow will have diminished significantly.
