My Luger is innaccurate, need help / advice

Hey Bucky, Just how bad is your pistol shooting? Does it shoot high or low, left or right, or just pepper shots all over the target? Both my Lugers shoot great as far as accuracy goes. My DWM has a terrible looking bore, but delivers excellent accuracy, as good as any pistol I own. The Mauser 42 I have has an excellent bore, but the front sight is a little tall, and it shoots somewhat low.

If your not used to shooting your gun, funky trigger pull and out of whack sights might make a fair shooting pistol seem like a terrible shooter. Both my guns have decent triggers, but I shot another fellows Luger and Its trigger was horrid, spongy and unpredictable. Made it hard to hit with to the extreme. I was shooting my father in laws Ruger P90 and couldn't hit worth a hoot with it. Looked it over and discovered the rear sight was drifted way off center. Set the sight back to the center and vastly improved it's accuracy. Check your front sight and see if its alignment marks line up. Rear sight should be just a little "v" notch in the center of the rear link. Might check it to see if someone filed it out to one side or the other. I get along fine with P08 sights but many people seem to hate them.
