HiViz CT2009 Colt 1911 Red Fiber Optic Front Sight Replacement

The HiViz CT2009 Front Sight transforms standard 1911 sight picture with bright red fiber optic technology that gathers ambient light for enhanced target acquisition. This drop-in replacement sight eliminates the guesswork of traditional black iron sights in low-light conditions. Competition shooters and defensive carry users gain a significant advantage with faster sight alignment and improved accuracy.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard steel front sights that disappear in shadows, the CT2009 utilizes a red fiber optic rod that creates a brilliant aiming point visible in dawn, dusk, and indoor lighting conditions. The fiber optic element collects available light from multiple angles and channels it to create a glowing red dot that stands out against any background. This technology provides 5x faster target acquisition compared to traditional black sights while maintaining the reliability of a non-electronic system.

Key Features

• Red fiber optic rod for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions

Range testing demonstrates consistent point-of-impact accuracy with faster sight picture acquisition across varying light conditions. The fiber optic element maintains brightness from early morning through evening shooting sessions, making it suitable for IDPA competition, concealed carry, and range training. The steel construction withstands repeated slide cycling and holster draw practice without losing zero or sustaining damage.
