The term 'tang safety' refers to the safety actuating device (i.e. button, lever, knob, etc., ) being physically located in the tang of the firearm. The tang is that portion of the receiver (or frame) of the gun that extends into the butt stock on the top side of the wrist of the stock. If you shoulder the weapon (right-handed) the thumb of your right hand will be positioned over the tang and in a perfect position to slide the safety button forward or back. Hope that's clear enough!
