Look to purchase my first gun.
I have my choice narrowed down to three guns:
1. Glock 22 Gen 4
2. Glock 22 Gen 3
3. Springfield XDm 40

I know the legacy of Glocks, but have heard mixed reviews about the Gen 4's. I heard the XDm are very reliable modern handguns.

Any suggestions, pro/cons, first hand accounts, or advice would be welcome.

I have a gen4 G22, a gen3 G17, and an XD40. I mention the gen3 G17 since it is the same frame size and feel as the gen3 G22.

For the Glocks, I like the gen4 G22 largely due to the new rough texture on the grip and the slightly shorter pull length. This makes the gun feel very good in the hand. I am not a big fan of the XD series mostly because of two things: their grip feel and their higher bore-to-axis than the Glock. They are fine handguns.... is just a personal thing with me.
