Thumb safety.

Yea, they are all thumb safety. The tang safety is on the receiver itself, where you thumb crosses over, and the new safety is a wing type on the bolt stub. The latter is safer as it blocks the striker. Also less prone to damage as there are no linkage parts needed. The older tang just feels nice and is faster, like a fine shotgun, but arguably not as safe.

But then, safeties aren't anyway.

It's the older style, then. My SxS shotguns have the same type. Though I don't know if you could quite call them fine, they're old.

This sure beats where I used to live in Colorado where we all would hope summer would come on a weekend so we would be off to enjoy it
