The HiViz CT2009 is an interchangeable fiber optic front sight designed for most wide-tenon Colt 1911 pistols. Its steel sight body uses replaceable LitePipes to provide a high-visibility aiming point, with green, red and white colors available for different sight-picture preferences.
The CT2009 fits most 1911 pistols with a wide front sight tenon. HiViz states that the tenon can be narrowed to fit early narrow-tenon 1911 models. This is a stake-on tenon sight, not a dovetail-mounted replacement. Because the tenon must match the pistol’s front sight cut, confirm the existing sight configuration before ordering. HiViz recommends installation by a gunsmith.
The CT2009 uses interchangeable 0.090-inch-diameter LitePipes. Available colors are green, red and white, allowing the front sight color to be selected according to preference and visibility conditions. The all-steel sight body provides the mounting structure for the replaceable fiber optic element.
