Knight... patent thiefs i say.

[JJ]

I don't think they are thieves, but they are getting spanked in market share. These "new" designs are just knights attempt to gain back some of that market. T/C is clobbering them with the Omega and the Encore and CVA ismaking a dent with it's low cost Optima series.
Knight still builds a great quality gun, but they are falling way behind in terms of innovation etc.
