I must say that I was disappointed with the Knight Revolution. They had a good idea but the gun is very clunky and why are they sticking with those stupid Discs. I must have dropped it half a dozen times trying to load it. The safety was brutal as well. The one I tried was a handmade prototype but I can't imagine the factory-made being much better.

Hopefully, they have made a few changes. Are you referring to the X-bolt safety? Looks like Knight is betting their year on this one.

It just had a push button safety at the rear of the trigger guard.

What is the goofy looking little paddle-footed piece of metal sticking down out of the pistol grip, right where your fingers grasp it?

That goofy piece releases the action internals. I could see myself gripping that stock and the action falling out.

Or getting a blister on my right hand.

I think there is a second piece of the puzzle of releasing those internals though. Looks to me like there is also a release at the forward bottom end that sits flush.

What the heck were they thinking??? I still prefer the Greenfield Concept Rifle.

Underclocked is correct, it's a release for the action. Pretty awkward as far as I am concerned.
