Titanic (1997)


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, as the weapon 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 be issued in test articles around early 1912 to the US Military. Notice the 1911 has a 1911A1 hammer on it.

Lovejoy loads his M1911. Although, unless he already had a round in the chamber, which is possible, the gun may not be fully loaded, he simply puts in the magazine and holsters it. At some point he must have chambered and cocked it, because it is ready when Cal uses it, and it's unlikely that the inexperienced Cal would know how to do this.

In the same deleted scene, Lovejoy fires his M1911 at Jack and Rose before going into the hallway and up the stairs.

Webley Mk I

The officers of the Titanic can be seen with Webley Mk I 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 Lightoller (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.
