reading the specs on s&w s9ve it says there is no manual safety. so is the gun always in the fire mode?

i dropped mine on accident with one in the chamber
it was the scariest second of my life i did not know if it was going to fire when it hit the concrete lucky for me it did not fire when it hit
the only thing that happen was the magazine broke and it got scraped up
still functioned great with another mag.

For your purposes EVERY gun is ALWAYS "in the fire mode".
That's one of the most important rules of gun safety.
But to answer your question, like many handguns including the Glock pistol, the Smith "Sigma" has no exernal safety. When a round is chambered, all you have to do to fire it is to pull the trigger.
These guns are perfectly drop safe, by the way.
The guns are designed so that the firing pin cannot contact the guns primer unless the trigger is pulled back.
You could literally hammer nails with a loaded gun and it won't go off (though you are an idiot if you actually try this).
