Springfield may be able to set you up with them. Mine came with factory night sights.  I sent my gun back to Springfield to repair a feed problem and was talking to the repair tech about regulating the sights.  He said they have different hieght front and rear sights.  He changed them and now the gun shoots within an inch of point of aim.

Which gun do you have?  Do you have regular or Novak sights on it now?  If they are Novak, you can order them from Novak's or Brownell's.  

If they are regular sights, you can get regular Trijicon sights for Colt (wide tenon) and have a smith mill the front sight tenon down.  If you go that route, make sure the person installing them mills the front sight tenon thinner, as opposed to simply filing it down.  Filing it down will make for a sight that has a strong possibility of working itself loose.

I had my local gunsmith put a set of Meprolite 3 dot green nite sights on my mil-spec 1911. There was a small amount of machine work that needed done but they look great and function great as well.
