NewB here...
I am thinking of trading my p90 45 pistol for a knight disc extreme. It is a brand new gun, and will be my first black powder. I paid 300 for the pistol so to me it sounds like a great deal. What do you guys think? Thanks for any info.

RE: NewB here...
welcome to the forum.
The rifle you spoke of is a great rifle. I have an original Disk rifle and it is a good shooter. The plastic disc is not as bad as it sounds. You can reload them a couple times. And when it comes to hunting, the rifle is basically water proof. You carry a couple discs in your pocket, no cappers, de cappers, etc. Just drop a primed disc in and close the bolt.
These are one of the best shooting rifles ever. They are know for their long range ability and power. You could not have made a better choice IMO. Like UC said, if you're happy with the deal then it is a good deal. Good luck with your rifle should you choose to get one.

The good thing about a Knight Disc is that the disc that holds the 209 primer is a lot bigger than the primer and it is actually easier to load and remove. In fact I got the biggest buck I ever got in my lifewith a Knight Disc at first lightat about 50 yards, and I attribute it to being able to load the rifle quickly because of the disc.I had just gotten up in a tree stand, put my safety belt on, and therehe was. I had to pull my rifle up via a rope, put the primer in, aim and shoot. I did this very quickly, maybe 5 or 10 seconds, no way I could have done this with my omega, since the handling of the smaller 209 primerrather than the disc is a lot harder for me. It is a small point, butI considerthis an advantage to theDisc. The are also weather proof.

My Disc rifles like loose Pyrodex RS and Triple Se7en 2f. When I shoot Pyrodex I shoot 120 grains of it and a 250 gr shockwave. It also shoots XTP's very well. When I shoot Triple Se7en I shoot 110 grains of that.
My Disc rifle is older technology to the one you're getting but they are good shooters all the same. If you ask Knight want to shoot they always tell you two pellets and Knight Red Hots.
Good luck with your rifle.
