The Hi-Viz Litewave Rear Sight for Kimber 1911 is a precision aiming upgrade designed for shooters who demand fast target acquisition and superior low-light visibility. This rear sight features Hi-Viz's signature green Litepipe technology, which gathers and amplifies ambient light to produce a glowing sight picture without requiring batteries or external power. The Litewave system is purpose-built for fixed-rear-sight Kimber 1911 platforms, delivering the kind of edge that matters in defensive, competition, and training scenarios where sight visibility directly influences shot placement speed and accuracy.
The green Litepipe rear element provides a bright, high-contrast sight alignment point that remains visible across varying light conditions—from bright daylight ranges to dimly lit indoor environments. Unlike tritium night sights that fade after years of use or require activation in darkness, Litepipe technology performs consistently as long as ambient light is present. The compact profile and fixed mounting design ensure zero shift and mechanical reliability, making this sight a trusted choice for shooters who prioritize repeatability. The sight is engineered to work with standard Kimber 1911 rear sight dovetails, providing a secure, tool-free installation on compatible models with fixed rear sights (note: not compatible with Kimber Micro or Solo variants).
This upgrade is ideal for 1911 owners who carry or compete with their pistols and want enhanced target visibility without the maintenance demands of traditional night sights. Practical shooters appreciate Litepipe's performance in transitional lighting—the zones where typical metal sights become harder to use but where tritium has not yet activated. The Hi-Viz Litewave rear sight pairs well with front sight upgrades and represents a cost-effective way to modernize the sight picture of a trusted 1911 platform.
