Lack of Classic Guns

Nowadays in movies and TV, you mostly see Glocks, and often times SIGs and HKs. I don't really have anything wrong with these guns (I think Glocks are a bit ugly looking, but they are reliable), but in movies, there has been a lack of "Classic guns", or rather, classic guns having a big role in the movie, not like being used by some extra or being used by a main character, but not really being synonymous with a character. We all remember "Lethal Weapon". The Beretta 92FS was synonymous with Det. Martin Riggs. Now it has become the most popular choice of movie extras. And I don't even remember the last time I saw a Browning Hi-Power being used by a main character.

1911's and revolvers are still present, somewhat. Sometimes you'll get a movie like "Sin City" that really knows how to show off the 1911. But, even so, their presence in movies is declining. And sometimes a really great gun based on a classic design isn't used often. For instance, I can't believe I barely see S&W 686P. That is a great gun, but it isn't very much valued in the movie community.

Now, I understand that the reason these guns aren't in movies as much is because Glocks, SIGs and HKs are more modern design. But even so, nowadays, these guns don't usually become characters of their own. It's just a tool that a main character uses to shoot people. The classics I've mentioned above have previously become famous for being movie characters and not just "tools of the trade" of a character, if that makes sense.

Anyway, I just figured I'd express my opinion.
