You can always change them too...
Oddly enough, I seem to shoot way better with my SKS than my SAR.
I don't mind shooting from iron sights at all, but with my SAR (AK-type), I just seem to have a harder time lining up the front and rear sights and getting a good sight picture of the target. Honestly, I think the rear sight notch should probably be larger and the front sight easier to see. The problems are especially pronounced in less than ideal lighting conditions.
Honestly, my absolute favorite sights are the "ghost ring" type that you see on AR-15s. Once you get used to those, they are the tits. Fast target acquisition, and accurate as well.
I'm not trying to get all "This gun is better than that one." I know a ton of excellent shooters who really love the AK platform. I personally am sort of "meh" about it, but I think everyone should have one because they (used to be) are cheap and for the historical significance. I also know I could probably upgrade my AK sights pretty easily. I guess I just don't care that much.
