Should I get a S&W .38 special or a Glock 22 (first gun)?

Yes but you would be better off by buying it in a 357 Magnum because you can also shoot 38 Special ammo in a 357 Magnum.*.. You get two (2*) handguns for the price of one.*..If your going to spend the $$$$ anyway you will get more for your $$$ by buying it in 357 Magnum.*...
