It'd probably be quicker with an instructor, but many excellent shooters were self taught.
Obtain a comfortable, steady, and consistent hold on the firearm. I've seen very good shooters with odd holds... but they are at least consistently odd.
Concentrate on the front sight, it should be sharply in focus. It needs to be lined up in the center of the back notch, and level with it, though the rear sight is going to be out of focus a bit. Put that sharply in-focus front sight on the target, and concentrate on holding it there while smoothly squeezing the trigger. The target will be somewhat fuzzy... don't worry about it, just hold on it and keep concentrating on that front sight.
I'd say there's a 99% probability that there's not a thing in the world wrong with the weapon. Learning to shoot well takes time and effort. Instinct, childhood fantasy, and testosterone are not enough, you simply have to practice.
