I inherited a M11. It was my great Uncles and I had never shot it. Going to go turkey hunting for the first time next month. Avid turkey-chaser friend of mine to pattern my guns and see which gun/load worked best. I wanted to use my Winchester-12, but it patterned poorly; at least it aimed poorly. The M11 was, once I figured it shot a little high, rather impressive on the density of shot. My question is the safety. It appears that the safety is in front pf the trigger, inside the trigger guard. It is "on safe" when slide back towards the trigger and "off" when pushed forward. The seems logically backwards to me but is that how it is supposed to work or do I have some dangerous mechanical issues?
