I am assisting a recovering Fudd in a defensive handgun purchase.  I am convinced an XD or XDm is the thing to recommend, but with all their new models, and I have never owned one, I am not fully knowledgeable.  Please help with recommendations.

Purpose:  IDPA competion / Concealed Carry - Self-Defense use

Caliber: 9mm (cost/ease of skill)

I feel that a XDm 3.8 would be the first choice followed by the XD subcompact (which may be @ a disadvantage in IDPA competition)

I welcome constructive opinons.

I'd bet he'd be happy with the XDm 3.8.

I think its gonna be my next purchase.

The XDm 3.8 is probably the best compromise in XD's for competition and a carry gun.
