I guess it must be the sight. I too have trouble with my gun's sights at short range. I know it's supposed to be zeroed in for 50 meters but our range is only 15 meters so I have to fiddle a bit with the front sight.
I found out that I have to keep the top of the front sight slightly above the top end of the rear sight, otherwise it shoots too low which makes aiming more cumbersome than with modern pistols, but once I found the correct position, I was able to shoot very precisely.
I have a 1971 Mauser with 6" barrel in case that matters.
