There are revolvers which have no safety mechanism, although more modern designs tend to have a transfer bar mechanism, which prevents the hammer from making contact with the round unless the trigger is actually pulled. This allows for a revolver to be safely carried with all cylinders loaded, whereas earlier designs which lacked this feature would have a decocked hammer making contact with the round in the chamber lined up with the barrel.
Many pistols won't have a traditional safety mechanism of the sort which will actually prevent the trigger from being pulled. Some pistols, such as the Sig-Sauer pistols, some models of CZ pistols, etc. have a decocking mechanism, which allows the hammer to be lowered without the risk of it slipping and striking the round in the chamber. Others, such as the Glock, have a trigger block which must be depressed before the trigger can be pulled. On the Glock, this is part of the trigger itself, whereas the Heckler & Koch P7 has it on the front part of the grip.

Did guns have safeties during the Civil War?
Guns did not have safeties during the Civil War. However, some of the guns in the 1800s, had a half way spot between hammer down and hammer up that works kind of like a safety.
What are the 3 types of safeties that are found on guns?
Manual, magazine, grip.
Did the French MAS-36 have a safety?
No, most French guns did not have safeties either.
Which guns have safeties on them?
yes thay do Actually, it depends on what you mean. Almost all modern guns have internal safety mechanisms that keep the gun from firing unless the trigger is pulled, but most modern handguns and some modern long guns don't have external, manually operated safeties that you must deactivate before you can pull the trigger. However, SOME modern guns do. The reason I say that is because, most people, when they say "safety" are referring to a external, manual operated safety like the 1911 has.
Do all guns have safeties which do and which don't?
No, all guns do not have safeties. There are tens of thousands of different gun models, so it is impossible to say (in a brief answer) which ones do and don't. In GENERAL, most revolvers do not have safeties. Many single shot firearms do not (some do). The Glock auto pistol does not. Many lever action rifles with an external hammer originally did not- now they do. However, the most basic safety is safe handling of a firearm- assume any gun is loaded, do not point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot, and keep your finger OUT of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.
How many guns have a safety on them?
Depends on what type of gun you are talking about. Generally speaking, few revolvers have safeties. Virtually all semi-automatic pistols and rifles do have them, and the majority of shotguns are now sold with a safety. Older lever-action rifles generally don't have safeties, and most bolt-action rifles don't either.
Does a handgun have a safety?
It depends on what you mean. Most modern handguns that are not 1911 style do not have an external manually operated safety, but they do have internal safeties and safety features which will keep the gun from firing unless the trigger is activated. However, some models DO have external safeties, and most models can be ordered that way because a few states require guns to have safeties.
Is there a gun with no safety?
Yes, there are several. Most revolvers do not have (or need) a safety. Lever action rifles and guns with external hammers usually did not have safeties.
Where is the safety button on a 40 caliber?
The question cannot be answered as asked. However, a generic answer is, most modern guns don't have external manually operated safeties. A few, such as Glocks, have a passive safety on the trigger. 1911 and 1911 pattern pistols have a safety near where your thumb rests. A few other guns have safeties also near where your thumb rests.
