Correct, the 94 and the Marlins all work this way. It, combined with the "halfcock" is all the safety a gunowner with half a braincell needs. But obviously after a few morons scattered their brains allover the woods and lawyers were hired, the push button safeties were added too most all lever guns during the 80s.
The "trigger stop" safety on the leverun works just like the grip safety on a 1911 pistol, they prevent the trigger mechanism from working properly until the gun is held properly. Hmmmm John Browning designed both the Win 94 and the 1911, maybe he DID know wth he was doing?
