Glock 17/ Glock 22/ XD-40/XD-9

Without a doubt, go with the Glock 17; proven design, available parts and accessories, and cheap ammo.

XD 9, I really like the feel. Also, this summer the .22 upper is supposed to be released.

This choice is really about what pistol fits you the best, as XD's, Glocks, and M&P's are all good guns and anyone of these will last you a long time reliably.
