The HiViz LiteWave H3 Night Sight for S&W M&P pistols delivers round-the-clock aiming confidence by combining tritium illumination with HiViz's proven LitePipe fiber-optic technology — giving you a bright, fast sight picture whether you're on the range at noon or defending your home at midnight.
- Tritium + LitePipe fusion provides reliable 24-hour illumination in any light
- Green tritium front sight features a high-visibility orange outline ring
- Green tritium rear sight ensures consistent front-to-rear alignment at night
- Factory sight heights maintained for drop-in fit and zero retention
- Fits M&P full-size and compact models across all calibers
- Backed by an industry-leading 12-year tritium warranty from HiViz
Who This Is For
The LiteWave H3 is purpose-built for M&P owners who demand a single sight system that performs equally well in bright daylight and complete darkness — ideal for concealed carry holders, home-defense shooters, and duty professionals who cannot afford to compromise on target acquisition speed or low-light visibility. If you carry or stage your M&P for self-defense, this is a meaningful upgrade over factory plastic sights.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights fit my M&P Shield or M&P 2.0?
The HiViz LiteWave H3 is designed for S&W M&P full-size and compact pistols in all calibers. It does not fit the M&P CORE (optics-ready), M&P 22, or M&P Long Slide variants. The M&P Shield uses a different sight footprint and is not compatible with this specific model — check HiViz's Shield-specific listings for that platform.
How does the LiteWave H3 differ from a standard tritium night sight?
Traditional tritium night sights rely solely on radioactive gas vials for glow, which can appear dim in transitional lighting conditions. HiViz's H3 design layers LitePipe fiber-optic technology on top of the tritium element, so the sight actively gathers and amplifies ambient light during the day while the tritium takes over in true darkness — resulting in a brighter, faster sight picture across all lighting conditions.
Can I install these sights myself, or do I need a gunsmith?
The LiteWave H3 is engineered to factory sight heights for a direct drop-in replacement. Many experienced handgun owners install M&P sights at home using a quality sight pusher tool. However, if you are unfamiliar with sight installation or do not have the proper tools, professional installation by a qualified gunsmith is recommended to avoid damaging the sight or slide dovetail.
