The DAK format is a good pick because its safe, robust, doesn't snag or rub against your side.
DA/SA is safe too. And I've never had my hammer rub against my side, even IWB, or snag on clothing (though how you carry affects this).

The SIG Sauer has a great service record & is selected by many police/military units.
If you're recommending the SIG over the XDm for service length I agree. I just don't think one is inherently better for "defense".

its easy to convert a .40 pistol to the .357sig caliber.
Exactly. That's why I recommended getting a 40 now because it is easier and to find ammo, which is cheaper too, and told him to buy the .357 sig barrel later.
