There are older revolvers that can go off from a drop that’s just right. Modern revolvers have a safety gate that covers the pin the from the hammer except during trigger pull. IIRC, Taurus, S&W and Ruger have all had this problem in the past.
Edit. Called a transfer bar, and is pretty much standard on single and double actions.
