I've owned two Winchester 94s. Both were angle eject Trappers with 16" barrels. One was in .357, and the other was in .44.

Both models had bad triggers. It wasn't that they had the usual shotgun-style trigger you see on lever guns. Both of them had a lot of take up. Not only take up, but spring-loaded takeup, deliberately built into the trigger. You'd have the pull the trigger back quite a bit before it broke, and if you let it go it'd spring back forward.

So did I get the only two Win 94s ever made like this, or does somebody else have them? Sometimes I wonder; I'm the only one who ever mentions it, it seems. The older Win 94s didn't have this, nor do the higher-grade models, it would seem.

You're not the only one. Both of my AE eject 94's have the same problem. I hate the trigger designs in the newer 94's. The spring trigger design or whatever it's called blows and is a complete pain in the back side to work on and an even bigger pain to assemble/disassemble. I refuse to work on them if anyone is present, my language, well it would make a sailor blush when I have to work on those triggers.

I started getting really picky in my 94 purchses since. I only buy older top ejects now. The older design doesn't have the spring. MUCH more user friendly if you're looking to tinker and that's usually required to slick up the action a bit.
