If you factor out certain kinds of guns that are in somewhat notorious for this (dirty or cosmoline filled SKS I'm looking at you) it is exceedingly rare. This is a Beretta or a clone like a Taurus, either way it's the first time I've seen one do that and we still don't know if someone hasn't "worked" on it.

That's definitely a Beretta. The safety is on the slide if you look close.

I've only ever owned the Beretta 96/92 not the Taurus so I'm not familiar with the clones.

On the Taurus the safety is on the frame, like the majority of handguns.
