Dovetail sight removal and installation?

[lrrifleman]

Greetings!

I am soon planning on replacing some handgun and rifle sights. To the best of my recollection, there is supposed to be a unique direction for removal and installation, but I forget which way.

In order to remove a dovetailed sight (when looking from the breech) is the sight drifted from the left to the right, or vice versa?

As always, thanks in advance for your help!

Most U.S. sights go left to right to remove, right to left to install.

At least some European sights go the opposite direction.

Ask the sights' manufacturer.
