Let's put this another way, I saw a P229 DAO with a hammer, what is the purpose of the hammer?

I believe the OP is asking why the hammer is not bobbed.

Trade it in for a P320, no hammer.

The advantage of the unbobbed hammer in a DAO pistol is that it will fit into the same holsters as DA/SA pistol. Most duty holsters have a thumb break device that fits over the back of the hammer. It is also possible that the DAO hammers are so uncommon that they are just modified from the "off the shelf" DA/SA hammers.

HK's LEM system is the same way.

Before DAKs existed, SIG made DAO hammers because there were people who wanted a DAO pistol. Some police departments only wanted DAO guns. The DAO hammers were manufactured without the single action notch. Simple and probably more cost effective than redesigning the entire hammer.

There are tons of DAO guns with hammers out there. I'm not sure why this is even a question.

Also, bobbing the hammer on a SIG is a good way to get light firing pin strikes.

So how does one buy something, and not know what exactly it is he is buying?
