Hey guys I'm going to apologize right off the start and say this topic has probably been beaten to death. If it has just yell at me haha, but I wanted to seek out the opinion of you all vs. a gun forum.

I'm looking to purchase my first .9mm in the next month or so. Quick background, I am not new to guns I grew up with them and already own a few. However this will be MY first 9mm.

I am only interested at this point in time between either a glock 17/19 (haven't quite decided which size I like better) and the XDM 9.

I have shot all three of these a fair amout (around 400-500 rounds through each) and have also shot in comparison the M&P 9 and the PPQ. I am fortunate that a range close to me rents a various assortment.

Now comes the hard part... I shoot relatively tighter groups at 10-15yds with the springfield and about the same at 7 yds with the trio. They're all comfortable and like how they feel in my hand. I prefer the springfields look to the glock.

So sorry for all the probably unnecessary background, I come to you on opinions of overall quality and how long it will last with putting a good amount through it. I am not using this gun as a carry or anything of that nature. Strictly recreational. Any experiences or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all and again sorry this is so long to ask a pretty simple question, just thought it might help to see where I'm coming from.
