    Comes out from either side, but the gun industry has a "most of the time" standard of pins and sights coming out from left to right.

    I wasn't joking about IMMEDIATELY wrapping tape around the leaf portion of the sight to retain the elevation screw retaining pin.
    If that pin slips out, the elevation screw comes out and those microscopic balls and spring are GONE.
