HI VIZ LiteWave Front Sight, Ruger Redhawk, Super Redhawk, Blackhawk Hunter

• Interchangeable LitePipes: The front sight accepts different LitePipe colors, so the sight picture can be tuned for lighting conditions, target contrast, or personal preference without replacing the whole sight.
• LiteWave exoskeleton design: The diagonal-wave housing exposes more of the fiber to ambient light while shielding it from impact, helping the front sight stay bright and visible in hard field use.
• Factory-height front sight: This model is designed to work with the factory rear sight, which simplifies installation and preserves a familiar point of aim on compatible Ruger revolvers.
• All-steel construction: A steel body gives the sight the durability needed for heavy-recoiling revolvers and regular holster or range use.
• Ruger revolver fit: Built for Redhawk, Super Redhawk, and Super Blackhawk Hunter models with the correct front-sight retention system, it offers a straightforward upgrade for a clearer front reference.

About the Hi Viz LITEWAVE Series

Hi Viz LITEWAVE is a fiber-optic sight family introduced in November 2014 and built around a practical idea: make the front sight easier to see while keeping it durable enough for regular carry, range, and field use. A defining feature of the series is the diagonal-wave exoskeleton, which leaves more of the LitePipe exposed to ambient light while still protecting it from knocks and abrasion. That gives the shooter a brighter aiming reference without relying on batteries or electronic illumination.

Another key part of the series is the interchangeable LitePipe system. Instead of being locked into one color, the user can swap LitePipes to suit different backgrounds, target colors, or daylight conditions. Across the LITEWAVE line, HiViz offers front and rear configurations for handguns as well as rifle-sight variants, making the series relevant for competition, recreational shooting, training, hunting, and general daytime or low-light use. The result is a sight family known for a clear, fast sight picture, a holster-friendly profile, and a design that focuses on visibility without unnecessary complexity.

About the HI VIZ LiteWave Front Sight, Ruger Redhawk, Super Redhawk, Blackhawk Hunter

The HI VIZ LiteWave Front Sight RHLW01 is a dedicated front-sight upgrade for Ruger Redhawk, Super Redhawk, and Super Blackhawk Hunter revolvers that use the spring-plunger retained front sight. Its main advantage is a brighter, more distinct front aiming point than a plain black blade, which helps the eye pick up the front sight faster during deliberate hunting shots, range work, or general field carry. Because it is a factory-height front sight, it is intended to work with the factory rear sight rather than forcing a complete sight-system change.

The sight uses HiViz’s LiteWave fiber-optic architecture, combining a protective steel body with a shape that exposes more of the LitePipe to available light. In practical use, that means the front dot stands out more clearly against dark targets, shaded backgrounds, or mixed outdoor lighting. The interchangeable LitePipes add another layer of flexibility, allowing the shooter to switch among green, red, and white options to find the color that draws the eye most naturally.

Its all-steel construction suits the recoil and hard use associated with large-frame Ruger revolvers, while the fixed design keeps the setup simple and robust. For shooters who want a more visible front sight without adding electronics or changing the handling of the revolver, this model offers a straightforward improvement in sight acquisition and front-sight definition.

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. The company is based in Laramie, Wyoming, United States, and is particularly known for highly visible sighting systems built around fiber-optic and tritium-fiber-optic technology. Its product range includes handgun, rifle, and shotgun sights, along with recoil pads and other shooting accessories.

A notable part of the company’s design approach is the use of removable and reusable LitePipes, which let shooters replace worn elements or change sight color without replacing the entire sight. HiViz expanded that concept in the LiteWave line with an exoskeleton design and an integral LitePipe locking system, and it also developed LiteWave H3 models that combine tritium with fiber optics for around-the-clock visibility. That focus on practical sight visibility has made HiViz a recognized name in firearm sight upgrades.
