So, a Glock style that still has the blade in the middle?

The take-up or slack is not related to the hinged portion of the trigger. It is related to the distance the trigger bar has to move before the sear hook (candy cane) contacts the sear.

The striker block is also part of the drop safety. However, the hinged part (trigger safety) has only one function; prevent the trigger from moving rearward should the gun be dropped on the rear of the slide.
If the gun is dropped on the muzzle, the striker block prevents the momentum of the striker from going forward and striking the primer. However, if the gun is dropped on the back of the slide, the momentum of the trigger and trigger bar could move rearward enough to release the sear. This is the same as if the trigger were pressed by a finger.
If you think about it, it's easy to see that this is the only function of the hinged trigger that has any value. If anything got inside the trigger guard it would press the hinged part along with the rest of the trigger and fire the gun. Here's a video of a gun without the trigger safety:
