Why is Glock so Hot????

I have a friend who owns a Glock in 9mm and they are reliable, I will give them that. We only see each other once a year (we go back to junior high school) and we always make it a point to go to the range (a Luger owner and a Glock owner) and trade off every so often whilst we're in the shooting lane. It's not a bad pistol and I enjoy shooting a Glock but they sure are not meant to look elegant! I think he owns it because it's reliable and easy to clean/field strip. He likes my Luger but he finds the Glock is less picky with ammo and parts and he wouldn't be broken-hearted as much if the Glock just stopped one day. To him, it's a tool which makes a good day at the range rather than a piece which is collectible.
