These days even gun companies pay for product placement.

Guns and Hollywood...
As posted, yes even firearms are sold or marketed in Hollywood films & TV.
Para USA recently sent out media releases & made PR statements expressing regret over the handguns they provided to the Liam Neeson action film: Taken 3 (2014).
Neeson's anti gun and strong anti 2A beliefs really upset the execs at Para USA.
I read a entertainment trade article too about how Beretta USA paid a hefty fee for the actors in the military drama: Lone Survivor(2014) to use M9s/92FSs not SIG Mk25/P226Rs or 1911s as most "tier one" military special ops use. It's a minor point but many veterans and gun owners noticed it.

PS; I worked on a low budget thriller in 2013, one of the actors playing a police chief has a Cabot Arms 1911a1 .45acp model(Cabot Arms provided the prop). The actor holds the pistol in a few scenes with the 1911a1 hammer down,
, I pointed this out to my friend(a producer on the film). He said; "yeah but it was a safety issue, no one will notice" .

FYI:
-Actors like LN aren't good enough on their own to not be liberal. Only the better actors can say "no comment", or conservative things, and survive Hollyweird. I know a certain nasty cultish awlful rockstar that's a conservative Christian. It's all fake. Many people would act like cornballs on stage for a price. It stinks. And it was Para's last attempt to be relative to the world as they silently go out of biz at last. Were all better off that they're gone.
-a Sony Vaio is what I pick for all my secret agent missions

Looks like a Walther PPX to me.

I also would have guessed some sort of Walther as Bond has used a variety of Walther's over the years.
Yeah agree. Also IMHO, it doesn't have the same sex appeal as the PPK!
