HiViz S&W DX Litewave H3 Interchangeable Front Sight
I own over a half dozen of hiviz Fiber optic sights.. but when I seen this h3 model I had to try it, it does glow in the dark, if your looking for a affordable night sight this is it! You may need a deeper notch in rear sight blade due to the dot with the white ring around it is a little larger than...

Sight is easier to see due to green color and tritium helps in low light conditions. My biggest issue is that the blade width is 0.155 inches compared to the standard 0.125 inch width of the stock SW font sight. The sigtt does not show any light on either side of the blade when viewing through stock...

Snagged it on sale. Not many tritium options for dx style s&w. It isnt the brightest tritium I have but it is pretty good. .25" is the right size for s&w 627 pro. Easiest sight change removal and install ever. Less than a minute and no tools. Youtube s&w dx sight change. If I could make 2 change, I would like an orange ring around it for daytime shooting and it to be a bit brighter tritium glow at night.
Pros:
cost
Cons:
Not the brightest
Best Used for:
S&w revolver dx style front sight
Would recommend: Yes

These are very bright in sunlight. Don't understand why an expensive Perf. Center revolver doesn't already come with something like this from the factory. There are 3 different height options for this sight. The one that matches the R8 is part number SWN3002. Good illumination in the dark. Not as bright as sights that are just the tritium, but those sights don't perform as well in daylight conditions. Makes sense as these just have a ring of tritium. You'll want more of these sights once you try one and take gun to the range.
Pros:
EASY INSTALL
decent price
Bright in daylight
Good performance in dark
Cons:
none so far
Would recommend: Yes

Great sight. I’ve tried more than a few sights on my S&W Revolver with no luck , just having a lot of trouble picking up the front sight quickly. This HiViz sight is awesome!! Fast sight pickup great quality. Looking to purchase another for my S&W 29-6 Classic.

An easy to replace front sight for a S&W revolver. The front sight offers both Tridium and fiber optic glow. During the day the front sight is easy to see! At night or in low visibility, the tridium has a very nice glow that is easy to focus on and find your target.
Pros:
Great glow!! Easy to aim with. 3 different sizes to order from.
Cons:
A little hard to install. Have to grip and slide in with a little muscle.
Best Used for:
S&W revolvers with DX front sights.
Would recommend: Yes

Good gift for the old man, he liked it. Went back and forth on what to buy, settled on this. Installation was pretty easy, but I had the tools, and that made all the difference. Arrived quick. Glad I bought
