The HiViz LiteWave Front Sight for the Novak-Dovetail 1911 (Colt/Rock Island) (brand part number NVLW01) swaps in a bright green fiber optic LitePipe for the factory front sight, giving you a faster sight picture without changing the gun’s factory rear sight. It’s cut for a Novak-style dovetail measuring 0.330 inch by 0.75 inch at 65 degrees, so it fits Colt and Rock Island 1911 pistols with that dovetail. HiViz builds the sight around an all-steel frame with an interchangeable LitePipe, so replacement pipes are easy to source down the road.
