Revolvers don’t have safeties at all.

Why didn’t you jump to the conclusion that it was a revolver rather than a Glock?

Every handgun (or weapon for that matter) has a safety. It's called the person with his finger on the trigger. No amount of engineering can (or should) take the place of a responsible person exercising gun safety.

99% of revolvers don’t have safeties, because they are really not needed. For a DA revolver, they take an extremely long and strong pull, unlike the Glock. If SA, they need to be cocked first. The chances of a revolver accidentally or negligently discharging are much, much less than a Glock. Even so, most people I know who carry revolvers do so with an empty chambers. As someone said earlier, there is no reason to carry any weapon in condition one in cockpit with a locked door.
