Dovetail sight removal

I'm wanting to remove and replace the rear sight on a Glock.. I know this forum caters mainly to rifles but the pistol forum hasn't answered my question.

Should I push the old sight out to the left or right? Or does it matter?

Seems as if I've heard to go one way with dovetailed sights ??
Thanks

Pat,

Always push the sight out from the left as dove-tails taper towards this direction.

Sorry for being so cautious here, I take it you push them out the right side?

Start a new one in from the right and push to the left ...

Correct ?
Thanks

Just for clarification, that is left and right as viewed from behind the gun

Just remember, you always want to view from behind the gun...right?
