    Question re: L. C. Smith Safety Archived Message

    Hi,
    I am curious about a safety. The safety switch has a round hole in it, through which the "S" on the top tang can be seen. When the hole is over the "S", the gun is in the safe position.
    I think on every gun I've seen until now, the safety is pushed forward to allow gun to fire.
    What is the reason for a safety switch which can be slid forward, or backward, to disengage the safety? I've not seen this before.
    It is on a double trigger gun.
    Thanks in advance for your insight>
