That's right David. Generally, a hammer gun with a straight lever cannot be opened when the right hammer is cocked. The "fishtail" lever was designed not only as a convenience to the shooter but also as a safety measure eliminating the necessity of lowering the hammer down on a live chamber in order to open the gun.
