Looking to upgrade my sights but, can't find anywhere what the "standard" Colt rear sight was cut to. Would like to find a direct drop in sight without having to recut the rear dovetail.

The 10-8 u-notch is a nice upgrade.  This would allow you to pick a brass bead, night or fiber optic front sight for a good sight picture.

Thanks for the advice. Went with the 10-8 U notch sight and a matching fiber optic front sight.

Is the front of the slide dovetail cut?

Yes, the front is cut, but I took that into consideration and the new one should fit. Had a set of XS Big Dot sights put on years ago and just never really could make them work for me much beyond handshake range. Something suddenly made me feel like it was high time I dropped $100 on a set of sights that will allow the Colt to escape the safe.
