Accidental or not, I still think it is true.

Look at a target. Close your eyes and bring a Luger up and point at where you remember the target to be, then open your eyes.

It is unusual if your are not close to dead on as far as where you are pointing the pistol. Few pistols can replicate this natural point.

Eric, I think both pistols would be evenly matched with stocks, given similar barrel lengths, with perhaps a slight advantage to the broomy, given the better sight length.

Exactly my point. The Luger will be pointing way too high. There are people who claim the M1911 is too 'fat' for their grip, I suspect that these are the same people who think the Luger 'instinctively' points 'on target'...
