HI VIZ Rear Sight, Taurus 1911

• Fiber-optic rear sight: gathers ambient light to create a brighter rear reference than plain black irons, helping the eye pick up the sight picture faster in daylight and on indoor ranges.
• Fixed rear configuration: keeps the sight picture simple and durable, making it well suited to a Taurus 1911 used for regular carry, range work, or general-purpose shooting.
• 3-dot alignment: gives a familiar sight layout that speeds up front-to-rear alignment and makes transitions between targets more intuitive.
• Square rear notch: provides a clean, defined window around the front sight, which helps with precise horizontal alignment and more consistent shot placement.
• Made in the USA: reflects HIVIZ’s focus on firearm sight systems and supports a product line built specifically for practical handgun use.

About the Hi Viz Pistol Sight Series

The Hi Viz Pistol Sight series covers a broad range of handgun sight options built for shooters who want a clearer sight picture than standard factory irons. In HIVIZ’s lineup, this family includes firearm-specific front sights, rear sights, and complete sight sets, giving owners a way to upgrade only the part they need or build a matched system around a particular pistol platform.

A defining trait of the series is HIVIZ’s long use of fiber-optic LitePipes, which gather ambient light to make the sight picture stand out more clearly in daylight and mixed lighting. Within the broader handgun range, some models use interchangeable LitePipes, while others use overmolded construction that locks the fiber in place. That variety lets the series cover different priorities, from simple fixed replacements to more configurable competition-oriented designs. Across the range, the emphasis stays on fast visual acquisition, practical durability, and application-specific fit for recreation, competition, personal defense, and duty-oriented use.

About the HI VIZ Rear Sight, Taurus 1911

The HI VIZ Rear Sight, Taurus 1911 is a handgun rear sight made for shooters who want a brighter and more immediately readable sight picture on a Taurus 1911. As a fiber-optic rear sight, it uses available light to make the rear reference points easier to see than a conventional plain rear, which can help reduce hesitation when presenting the pistol and settling into alignment.

The sight uses a fixed configuration, which favors robustness and consistency over adjustment complexity. That makes sense on a 1911 intended for regular use, where a stable zero and a snag-free profile matter more than frequent point-of-impact changes. Its 3-dot alignment gives the shooter a familiar visual system that is easy to interpret under range conditions and during faster strings of fire, while the square rear shape helps frame the front sight cleanly for more deliberate aiming.

At only 10.00 g, the sight adds very little weight to the slide, preserving the handling balance of the pistol. Because it is a dedicated rear sight rather than a universal insert, it suits owners looking for a straightforward Taurus 1911 sight upgrade that improves visibility without changing the basic handling characteristics of the handgun.

About HiViz

Based in Laramie, Wyoming, United States, the company is known for practical sight designs that focus on visibility, durability, and firearm-specific fit rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Its product range includes fiber-optic sights, tritium sights, recoil pads, and shooting accessories. Among the company’s best-known technologies are LitePipes, the removable and reusable fiber-optic elements used in many HIVIZ products, and the LiteWave design, which uses an exoskeleton structure with an integral LitePipe locking system.
