Who This Is For
The LiteWave H3 is built for 1911 owners who demand a no-compromise sighting solution — whether you carry daily for personal defense, compete in IDPA or USPSA, or simply want a significant low-light upgrade over factory sights. If you shoot in varied or unpredictable lighting environments and need a sight that transitions seamlessly from bright afternoon ranges to pitch-black conditions without swapping gear, this is your solution. Note: this sight is not compatible with the 1911 Micro platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the LiteWave H3 fit my full-size or Government-model 1911?
Yes — the HiViz LiteWave H3 is designed to fit standard full-size 1911 pistols that use a fixed rear dovetail sight. This includes most Government-model, Commander-size, and similarly configured 1911s from manufacturers such as Colt, Springfield Armory, Kimber (full-size), and Rock Island Armory. It does not fit the 1911 Micro platform (e.g., Kimber Micro 9 or similar sub-compact variants). When in doubt, measure your existing rear sight dovetail dimensions against HiViz's published specs before ordering.
How does the Tritium + LitePipe hybrid system work in daylight?
In bright conditions, the LitePipe fiber-optic element harvests ambient light and channels it through the sight post, producing a vivid, glowing pip that stands out sharply against most target backgrounds — often outperforming plain tritium in full daylight. As ambient light fades, the self-luminous tritium vials take over automatically, providing a steady green glow with no batteries or activation required. The result is seamless, always-on visibility across the full spectrum of lighting scenarios.
What does the 12-year tritium warranty cover?
HiViz backs the tritium vials in the LiteWave H3 with a 12-year warranty against defects and luminosity loss under normal use conditions. Tritium is a radioactive gas that naturally diminishes in brightness over time (with a half-life of roughly 12 years), so this warranty period aligns with the expected useful service life of the illuminated element. If a vial fails or dims prematurely within the warranty window, HiViz will repair or replace the sight at no charge.
