What determines it is generally the magazind

follower on an empty magazine can push up on a slide/bolt catch, where the follower cannot touch that catch/stop/lock when depressed by ammo.

As already noted, most guns have that feature today. A notable exception (at least as far as I know) has been the Ruger designs using a rotary magazine, the follower location in it not amicable for actuating a stop off to the side of receiver where such is normally located, nor is the spool spring strong enough to actuate such a stop. This all said particularly in regards to the rimfires.

When hands-on shopping for a gun, such a feature is easily determined if present, and if gun locked and shop refuses to unlock, they at least should be able to tell if the gun has such a feature.
