If you have to hold the bolt release button to raise the lifter to allow you to feed shells into the magazine it does not have "speed load".
Stallones, With speed load you dont have to press the button, just shove the lifter up with the shell and feed it, if the chamber is already open the gun automatically loads that first shell into the chamber and closes the breech.
Bill, I have never seen a Model 11 with the trigger guard safety. I have always thought that they were all made with cross bolt safeties.
