You are confusing popularity with law enforcement versus popularity with "common folk". The guns you've listed may be popular with civilian shooters in the U.S., but how many LE agencies issue them? Last I heard, Glock holds over 60% of the U.S. LE market, SIG-Sauer holds about a third, and everyone else is fighting over the remaining 2-3%.

And in case you've forgotten, Hollywood isn't in the habit of making movies about common folk who own guns; most of the time that you see guns in movies, they're being carried by either LE personnel or bad guys.
