Road to Perdition (2002).

M1911A1

The M1911A1 is the most commonly seen gun in the movie, used primarily by mob soldier Michael Sullivan (Tom Hanks). Connor Rooney (Daniel Craig) also uses an M1911A1 when murdering Finn McGovern (Ciaran Hinds) and, later, Sullivan's wife Annie (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and youngest son Peter (Liam Aiken). (Whenever Sullivan uses this gun to kill Connor, the gun fires three times and, although casings are heard hitting the ground, none are seen leaving the pistol itself and the slide never retracts. Also, the gun is often seen firing with the hammer down, even though it is a single action pistol.)

The "non-gun" above may be a real firearm - if you note the "safety" lever above the thumb on the image "Conner's M19111A1 when he shoots Annie and Peter" you can see that the M1911A1 has a slide lock which allows a single round to be fired without cycling the action.

Thompson M1921

Michael Sullivan uses the .45 ACP Thompson M1921 submachine gun, popular with gangsters of the era, during the Finn McGovern murder and also to gun down John Rooney (Paul Newman) and his gangsters towards the end of the movie.
