Handguns without safeties are really common - in fact most newly purchased police guns in the US today don't require anything beyond pulling the trigger.
The two most popular handgun lines in the US, the Glock[1] and the M&P[2], don't have what a laymen would consider a safety. The Sig P250[3], of CounterStrike fame, has no safety of any kind whatsoever.

- patrickg_zill 8y agoALL Glocks have a safety. It is integrated into the trigger pull mechanism. (You should NEVER put your finger on a gun's trigger unless you intend to fire it. This is taught in all good gun safety courses.)
- allthenews 8y agoIt is disingenuous to conflate a trigger "safety" with a classic manual safety. One requires unlocking as a separate action from pulling the trigger, and has it's own state independent of the trigger. I doubt the original commenter new the difference, and was most likely referring to manual safeties.
