I love my LW 45acp Commander.I dont like the front sight though.This gun is in my winter EDC rotation and I would like a Night front sight.Can I put a Night sight on the front and still use the stock Novak rear sights.

Yes you can. Just select a Tritium front sight of the same height, and swap them out. Note that with sights, some minor fitting may be required (hint: file on the sight, not the slide of the gun).

One other thought: You could also try some of the fluorescent paint. Put a coat of
white as the base, then add the color you like best (red, yellow, green, etc.).

If you do decide to change the sight, make sure you have a GOOD sight pusher.
A punch and hammer just do not do what you want.
