Most guns ARE accurate. It’s the shooter who needs training. that’s like one of those local new s reports that start out, “...an SUV jumped the center barrier and crashed head on...,” or “...an SUV swerved across two lanes and crashed into someone’s living rooom.”

Damn - all these inanimate objects with minds of their own. I guess I’ll just send my FAL off to the range for some schooling...

You certainly got that right! And with enough training and practice, it's amazing what you can do with "minimal sights."

Many years ago, I was shooting a Taurus PT-99 in a USPSA competition. Midway through my run, I noticed that something had changed, but couldn't really say what it was. I finished the run, and as I was making my handgun safe, I noticed that the rear sight was missing! The roll pin that held it to the slide had worked its way loose and fallen out, as did the rear sight blade. But I was so focused on the front sight that I never noticed.
