This gun was apparently a Glock, they have safeties, but they are usually a trigger safety.

That works like this:

There is a separate metal tab on the trigger, that gets pushed in when you pull the trigger allowing the gun to fire, it makes it drop safe, but enables the user to pull the gun and fite without a manual safety.
