I would go with the HiViz front and standard square notch rear(factory rear sight). Shooting with a V notch rear is difficult to do accurately, unless your eyes are in great condition and the light is perfect. Its just too hard to settle the front sight correctly in the V. I have a HiViz front on my 22/45 LITE, Williams Fiber Optics on my Single Ten and a HiViz front and V notch rear on my S&W 317. I have changed out the rear V sight on my 317 and now Im much more accurate with it. I only recommend the HiViz over the Williams set because its half the cost. The Williams set is great, but you will get green rear lite pipes, and a red front pipe. I like a green front pipe, and the HiViz comes with both colors, and changing the lite pipes on the HiViz is a snap.

I had Hi Viz green front site on my 22/45 for a couple years and just recently got a set of the Williams fire sights.
Williams fire sights are much better for my tired eyes.

I went with the Williams adjustable FO rear and FO front sights. Nicely made and inexpensive

I about to switch from a V rear sight to a standard U. What size is your front HiViz pipe? 2/32?
