Stupidest Guns used in Movies

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.

Whether or not the Beretta looks nice is up to individuals, but it's still very iconic and most peopel can recognize one if it's on screen.

You do know someone who owns a Beretta and likes it, me, and Matt sort of counts as he had a PT92 and liked it too. They aren't perfect but they are good pistols and fun shooters. They aren't perfect but there isn't anything majorly worng with them, the opinions of any headstrong bashers (military included) be damned. Military types have American made Berettas with American made non-factory magazines that have been used over and over again, in other words, the worst of the worst Berettas, and for every one guy you can find that hates one, I can find a dozen that love, or are at least content with theirs.
