A safety mechanism for a firearm with a lock pivotally attached to the firearm and an insertable key, which is disposable in the lock. In an off-safe position, the key is disposed within the lock and the lock is held against the firearm when a user grasps a handle portion of the firearm. When the lock is no longer being held against the firearm, the lock pivots away from the firearm and the key is ejected from the lock, such that the lock is in an on-safe position. When the key is absent from within the lock, the lock cannot be pivoted toward the firearm.
