Not my game but until a reliable source comes along...
You seldom see anything on a Service Pistol except a Bomar mounted in the GI dovetail, not buried like an IPSC gun. Front sight a tall square blade, often undercut. Bomar is long gone but there are several copies.
If you are serious about it, you will want to get in touch with a real bullseye gunsmith who will fit the sights and accurize the gun without adding expensive tackytickle modifications like gunzine centerfolds.
Service pistol has limits on modifications, see at:

I am pretty sure the minimum trigger pull is either 4 or 4.5 lbs, I don't know why it is not mentioned in those rules.

Here's the complete CMP rulebook - the allowable modifications are shown in a table on pg. 35 - http://www.odcmp.com/Competitions/Rulebook.pdf
The minimum trigger weight is 4lbs.
Here's a common set of modifications for a stock 1911 that's to be used as a ball gun.
But these entail an extensive rebuilding of the pistol. A lot of people get started with a stock pistol and some basic work. Your best bet is probably to contact a BE smith and get some advice.
You might try posting to the Bullseye-L mailing list - http://lava.net/~perrone/bullseye/
These sorts of questions come-up all the time and there are gunsmiths on the list who'll probably be able to help you out.
