Armorers often don't have the most up-to-date weapons in their armories, for reasons that MPM explained.
I think that if nothing else, the 4506 is likely to be rare because armorers tend to use 9mm pistols so often. As Steve has explained elsewhere, the Beretta's popularity is because (1.) it's a 9mm, and (2.) it's one of the most reliable pistols with blank rounds.

I walked into that.
What I meant since it's discontinued. No real Police departments, would now adopt it. Even though films rarely get such and such department sidearms right anyway.
Also the Beretta 92FS is still in production, so is the SIG P226 and Glock 17. Prop houses can still buy them to replace their worn out or broken ones.
