Left to right is the standard for US made firearms. The pins in your sight are "peened" on both ends before finishing, so I don't think it makes much difference which way you drive the old ones out. But to be safe, just use the "left to right" method and you should be OK.

HTH,

Thanks Emri - worked like a 'champ' - 1/16" punch & very minimal marks.

Emri is correct, though it doesnt matter with these, its a good habbit to get into, left to right out, right to left in..
