I was wondering what handguns have grip safeties.

The only ones that I know of are...
1911's
Springfield/HS XD pistols

Dear Drago,

While it's not a "safety" the H&K P7 has the squeeze cocking mechanism which prevents firing without the grip being held.

I think the Astra 400/600 series have them.

Allow me to go against the grain and say I really don't like grip safeties all that much. With the good positive thumb safeties that my Yost-Bonitz 1911s have (and the 1991A1 even has the firing pin safety), and good holsters (such as my Sparks VM2, what do I need a grip safety for? My CZ-75 can be carried cocked and locked and it has no grip safety.

Here's Novak's grip safetyless beavertail:
