HI VIZ LiteWave Front Sight, Ruger GP100

• LiteWave fiber-optic design: The exposed wave-shaped housing lets more ambient light reach the LitePipe, creating a brighter front reference that is easier to pick up quickly in daylight and mixed lighting.
• Factory-height front sight: This sight is built to work with the factory rear sight, so it preserves the revolver’s intended sight relationship and keeps installation focused on a clean front-sight upgrade.
• Interchangeable LitePipes: The front sight accepts replaceable LitePipes, allowing the sight picture to be refreshed or color-tuned to suit different backgrounds, target types, or personal preference.
• All-steel construction: A steel body gives the sight the rigidity and wear resistance needed for regular holster use, range work, and field carry on a working revolver.
• GP100-specific fit: Designed for Ruger GP100 revolvers with an adjustable rear sight and spring-plunger retained front sight, it offers a model-specific solution rather than a generic front blade.

About the Hi Viz LITEWAVE Series

HIVIZ introduced the LITEWAVE series in November 2014 as a brighter, more adaptable fiber-optic sight family for shooters who wanted faster front-sight visibility without moving to electronic optics. The series remains current in the company’s lineup and is built around fiber-optic LitePipes that gather ambient light to create a clear, high-visibility sight picture for daytime shooting and difficult backgrounds. A defining feature is the diagonal-wave exoskeleton design, which exposes more of the LitePipe to light while still protecting it from impact and handling wear.

Across the range, interchangeable LitePipes are a key part of the concept. They let shooters change color or replace a worn pipe without replacing the entire sight, which adds flexibility for competition, recreational shooting, training, hunting, and general field use. HIVIZ also describes the series as holster-friendly, so the sights are shaped to remain practical on working handguns rather than only on range guns. The LITEWAVE family includes both handgun and rifle applications, with front and rear configurations available, but the common theme is the same: a durable sight body, strong ambient-light performance, and a sight picture that is easy to acquire quickly under real shooting conditions.

About the HI VIZ LiteWave Front Sight, Ruger GP100

The HI VIZ LiteWave Front Sight, Ruger GP100 is a dedicated front-sight upgrade for all Ruger GP100 revolvers with adjustable rear sight and spring plunger retained front sight. Its role is straightforward but important: it makes the front sight easier to see, which is often the fastest way to improve practical revolver shooting. On a GP100 used for range work, field carry, or general-purpose handgun shooting, a brighter front reference helps the eye settle on the sight faster and maintain better visual focus through the shot.

The sight uses HIVIZ LiteWave fiber-optic technology with a 0.090 LitePipe diameter, giving the front blade a bold, easy-to-track aiming point without turning the sight picture into a large, imprecise dot. The LiteWave housing is designed to expose the fiber to ambient light while still shielding it, so the sight remains practical for regular handling and holster use. Because the LitePipes are interchangeable, the shooter can use green, red, or white inserts to better match lighting conditions or target contrast. That flexibility is useful on a revolver that may serve more than one role, from target practice to outdoor use.

All-steel construction supports durability, while the factory-height format is intended to remain compatible with the factory rear sight. This keeps the upgrade focused on visibility rather than changing the revolver’s overall sighting system. As a fixed front sight, it preserves the simple, rugged handling many GP100 owners want, while the bright fiber-optic aiming point makes the revolver quicker to align in practical shooting.

About HiViz

HIVIZ began in 1996 with a single shooting-related product and grew into a specialist maker of sights and accessories for handguns, shotguns, and rifles. Based in Laramie, Wyoming, United States, the company is closely associated with highly visible sighting systems built around removable fiber-optic elements. Its product range includes fiber-optic sights, tritium sights, recoil pads, and shooting accessories, with a strong emphasis on practical upgrades for popular firearms platforms.

A defining part of the brand’s identity is the use of removable and reusable LitePipes, which let shooters replace or change the fiber-optic insert instead of replacing the entire sight. HIVIZ also developed the LiteWave exoskeleton design and integral LitePipe locking system, giving its sights a recognizable structure that balances light exposure with protection. Alongside LiteWave products, the company’s lines have included TriViz and CompSight, reflecting a long focus on bright, easy-to-acquire sight pictures for sporting and defensive firearms.
