Frequently Asked Questions
Which exact M&P models does this HiViz sight fit?
This sight is designed to fit the Smith & Wesson M&P full-size, M&P compact, and M&P Shield pistols in centerfire calibers. It does not fit the M&P 22 rimfire model. If you are unsure whether your specific variant uses the standard M&P dovetail, consult your owner's manual or contact HiViz directly before purchasing.
How do I swap the LitePipes, and do I need special tools?
HiViz LitePipes are designed for simple, tool-free replacement. Use the included LitePipe tool (or a small punch) to push the existing pipe out of the sight body and press the new color into place. The process takes only a few seconds, making it easy to switch between green for low light, red for high contrast, or white for a traditional look right at the range.
Can I pair this front sight with my existing rear sight, or do I need a matching HiViz rear?
The HiViz LiteWave front sight works as a standalone upgrade alongside your factory or aftermarket rear sight. Many shooters pair it with a plain black rear to draw the eye naturally to the bright front pipe for faster target acquisition. HiViz also offers matching rear sights if you prefer a full fiber-optic or LitePipe system front and rear.
