Special forces agents have very different requirements for handgun selection than the average person. A .22 is light, high-capacity, and very quiet and therefore easy to suppress (compared to other guns.) As for the selection of IMI firearms, politics has a part to play in that as well. Mossad is obviously going to use an Israeli manufacturer for their weapons.
If you look at the majority of US government agencies, H&K or Sig are the predominant weapon, and in most police departments tha use semi-autos, a .40 Sig Sauer is replacing the Glock as the standard sidearm. As far as special forces in the military and police like counterterrorist and SWAT groups, H&K are the weapons of choice from the rifles to the sidearms.
I may just be some guy on the Internet, but I want you to know that I'm not just pulling stuff out of my ass, I have reasons for saying what I do.
