I thought about doing this myself, but I am glad I didn't. Alex Hamilton actually lives just down the street & I dropped the slide off for him yesterday. He called last night to say the factory front sight was extremely tight & it would probably be toast by the time he got it off. While the factory rear came off OK, the new Heine slipped on loosely a rattled free in the dovetail. Alex had to work his magic to modify both front & rear dovetails to hold the new sights. I asked him if he thought Heine sent the wrong sights & he said no way; the Springfield slides just have variences in the way the dovetails are cut. For my Springer friends, this may not be a mod to try at home.
