I know that the Italians and British both issued contact hand grenades during World War II; though largely in the early years of the war and were largely phased out.  The Brits, Germans, and Soviets all had contact Anti-Tank Hand Grenades.  Yes, hand thrown AT grenades.  The Brit one looked like a thermos. 

I don't know of anyone still issuing contact hand grenades today, though.
