The following firearms can be seen in the film Titanic:
M1911
Although anachronistic, Spicer Lovejoy (David Warner) carries an ornate nickel-plated M1911 (even though a non-nickel M1911 would have been more correct for someone to carry in 1912, even though they hadn't achieved widespread usage yet). At one point, Cal Hockley (Billy Zane) grabs the M1911 from Lovejoy's shoulder holster and chases Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) through the sinking ship. The 1911 came from Stembridge Gun Rentals it was chosen because the patent date made it plausible. The Colt 1911 started to issued in test articles early 1912 to the US Military. If notice the 1911 has a 1911A1 hammer on it.
Webley Mk VI
The officers of the Titanic can be seen with Webley Mk VI revolvers, just as the real officers had carried. First Officer William Murdoch (Ewan Stewart) uses his to shoot two passengers before shooting himself. Second Officer Charles Lightholler (Jonathan Phillips) can be seen threatening several passengers with his, just before actually loading it. Fifth Officer Lowe (Ioan Gruffudd) also briefly can be seen with one, even though the real Officer Lowe carried his own sidearm on the ship, an FN Model 1900.The actual First Officer Murdoch survived and was one of the few crewmen lauded as a hero along with Fifth Officer Lowe.

A crewman guarding the third class passengers at a gate below decks during the sinking draws a small revolver and aims it at them to keep them away from the gate.
