My front site looks very much like the one TAM posted. Rear sight allows you to rack slide one handed by catching it on belt or pants.

One caution about multicolor tritium sights:

With some manufacturers any color other than green has a shorter warranty period.

I dont want to spend a fortune. Maybe $80-90 dollars. Any recomendations?
Any advise appreciated.

I like Trijicons or Meprolights.

Other good choices are Big Dot Express sights and TruGlo Brite Sites. The partially exposed fiber optic rods in the TruGlos are not as rugged as the others with fully protected tritium tubes embedded in steel, but should do fine in most non professional (not LEO or military) environments.

Unless you absolutely have to have them today, you'll get a much better price by searching for the model you want on line. They're quite easy to install with basic tools.

That being said, if you don't want to install them yourself, you'll end up paying a small installation fee at a gun shop or gun show. Some gun shops will install for free if you buy from them. The price in that case may be close to a wash.

I suggest pricing it both ways and see what works best for you.
