Hi-Viz LiteWave H3 1911 Night Sight Set Green/Orange/White
The HiViz LiteWave H3 Night Sight Set for 1911 pistols delivers around-the-clock aiming confidence by combining tritium night sight technology with HiViz's proven LitePipe fiber optic system — giving you a bright, fast sight picture in full daylight and reliable illumination when the lights go out.
- Tritium-powered front sight glows green with a crisp white ring for rapid target acquisition
- LitePipe fiber optic technology amplifies ambient light for superior daytime visibility
- Orange rear sight provides high-contrast alignment against the green front post
- 24-hour illumination means reliable performance from dusk to dawn without batteries
- Backed by HiViz's industry-leading 12-year tritium warranty for long-term value
- Drop-in fitment for standard 1911 models with fixed rear sight dovetail cuts
Who This Is For
The LiteWave H3 set is ideal for 1911 enthusiasts who demand a single sight solution for home defense, concealed carry, and range training. If you shoot in varied lighting conditions — low-light self-defense scenarios, early morning range sessions, or competitive shoots — this sight set eliminates the need to choose between a daytime fiber optic and a dedicated night sight. It's also a smart upgrade for anyone replacing worn factory sights on a standard full-size or Government-model 1911 (note: not compatible with 1911 Micro or Officer-size models with non-standard rear sight cuts).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 1911 models is this sight set compatible with?
The HiViz LiteWave H3 is designed to fit standard full-size and Government-model 1911 pistols that use a fixed rear sight with a standard dovetail cut. It is not compatible with 1911 Micro, Officer-size, or other compact variants that use a different rear sight configuration. If you're unsure whether your specific pistol qualifies, check your owner's manual or consult a gunsmith before ordering.
Do the tritium vials require any batteries or charging to glow at night?
No — tritium is a self-luminous radioactive isotope that produces a steady green glow without any external power source, UV charging, or batteries. The tritium vials in the LiteWave H3 provide continuous low-light illumination for the lifetime of the sight. HiViz backs the tritium elements with a 12-year warranty, ensuring predictable performance well into the future.
Can I install these sights myself, or do I need a gunsmith?
The front sight on most 1911 pistols can be replaced with basic tools, but the rear sight typically requires a sight pusher tool or press for safe dovetail installation without damaging the slide. HiViz recommends professional installation by a qualified gunsmith to ensure proper fitment, retention, and zero. Improper installation can affect accuracy and may void the sight warranty.
