The HIVIZ Fiber Optic Front Sight for 1911 Novak Cut brings a serious upgrade to 1911 shooters who want their sights to work as hard as they do. This is a fiber optic front sight specifically engineered for 1911 pistols with Novak-style dovetail cuts, and it solves a real problem: getting a sight that's bright enough to acquire quickly in variable light without sacrificing durability or reliability. The innovative LITEWAVE design uses a diagonal-wave exoskeleton that not only protects the fiber optic tube but also exposes more surface area to gather light from multiple angles, meaning you get maximum brightness whether you're shooting indoors, outdoors, or in transition.
If you carry a 1911 for personal defense or competition, or you just want a front sight that won't fade when you need it most, HIVIZ's interchangeable LitePipe system covers your preferences. The sight ships with red, green, and white fiber optic inserts, so you can swap them out depending on your environment and what works best for your eyes and your backdrop. On the range or in a high-stress scenario, that brightness advantage matters—it speeds up your sight picture and keeps your focus where it needs to be. The blade height is .180", and the sight is cut for the standard Novak .330" x .075" x 65-degree dovetail, making installation straightforward for gunsmiths or experienced builders.
Built for shooters who refuse to compromise on sight quality, this HIVIZ front sight combines proven fiber optic technology with battle-tested durability. Whether you're running a competition gun, a duty pistol, or a refined carry 1911, swapping in a HIVIZ front sight is one of the most effective upgrades you can make.

This HIVIZ front sight is cut specifically for 1911 pistols with Novak-style dovetails. If your 1911 has the standard Novak cut (.330" x .075" x 65 degrees), it will fit. If your 1911 uses a different dovetail system (such as a proprietary cut or older three-dot dovetail), you'll need a different sight. When in doubt, measure your dovetail or consult your gunsmith.
Yes. The sight includes interchangeable LitePipes in red, green, and white. You can swap them out depending on your shooting environment, lighting conditions, or personal preference—no tools required.
The diagonal-wave pattern on the exoskeleton increases the exposed surface area of the fiber optic tube, allowing it to gather light from more angles. This produces a brighter sight picture than traditional flat-sided designs, while also providing better protection against impact and wear.
This sight has a .180" blade height. For proper co-witnessing with a standard 1911 rear sight, consult your rear sight specifications. Your gunsmith or the rear sight manufacturer can confirm compatibility.
