I was a diehard CVA/BPI owner and i still like some of their guns...i even still like the ones i sold. After buying an Accura and being bit by a higher quality product, i wanted to try what many people claim is one of the best ......GMB and Knight!!!!

The Accura was/is so good and the GMB54-120 was so close in price i knew i couldnt go wrong....and i wasnt. Everything about the GMB54-120 is top notch and knowing it was based on a DISC Extreme i had to have more.

Then i found an old LK93 for only $100 and man its incredible and i like it much more than my old T/C Thunderhawk 54. I needed a little help from Al and Sam at Knight and they sealed my love affair with Knight quality and customer service...This old gal will shoot and shoot with the best of the plunger guns....except maybe a White.

I bought a new Elite 45 and Extreme 50 the same day for a fraction of msrp. They had an extra Elite 45 and i had to make sure it ended up with someone that i knew would enjoy it. Not just because it was a Knight but a low serial number 45cal Elite which would likely end up gathering dust in a closet next to a 50cal that was actually used.

When push comes to shove, Knight will now always get first shot at my money. They earned it and i enjoy giving my money to an American company built on a foundation of quality and the best customer service ive ever gotten. I will gladly pay a bit more now that ive felt the difference and my strong desire to see Knight come back in force.

Im not bashing CVA and even recommend some of them. The 2010 lineup is a huge improvement over pre-Accura/Bergara barrel quality guns but it took them years to approach similar quality that Knight and T/C have made for years. Now they flood the market with them in an attempt to saturate the market and make it hard for more expensive brands to compete.

Knight will succeed as long as our economy and market can support the demand. The Extreme truly is one of the best ever made and mine will shoot just about anything ive tried into sub 2" consistently even with pretty hot loads.
