Correct...shorter front post raises POI.
The sights always come off on the right side and go back on from the right side.
The dovetail cuts on the slide, front & rear, have a tapered lead in on the right hand side. And...The dovetail bases on the sights have a matching taper on their left.
Those sights are typically really tight, and I mean REALLY! tight. A brass or copper drift is your friend to prevent marring the slide. Soak the sight base with a quality penetrant for a couple hours before beating on it...Kroil or PB Blaster are my picks.
Any copper or brass 'crayon' marks will come right off with some copper bore solvent.
