[[Image:Tokyo Drifter Tatsu1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another view of Tanaka's pistol shows a faint line where the extractor should be, just to the left of the ejection port. It might be a functional extractor, however since all of the firearms in the film are replicas, it could be paint applied to the slide to simulate an extractor.]]

Throughout the film Tatsu (Tamio Kawaji) uses a pistol resembling a suppressed replica FN Model 1910 with a nonstandard rear sight, no extractor and misplaced ejection port. Kenji (Hideaki Nitani), Tanaka (Eiji Go), Otsuka (Eimei Esumi) and Umetani (Isao Tamagawa) also use replica Model 1910s.
Kurata (Ryuji Kita) uses a Beretta Model 70 replica. Otsuka, Tetsu (Tetsuya Watari) and Kumamoto (Hiroshi Chô) are also seen with it. Although the pistol is Kurata's in each scene, several different replicas may have been used for filming.
Tanaka is seen with a pistol resembling a Colt Model 1903/1908 flash-paper or paper cap replica with no extractor. One of Otsuka's gangsters also uses one.
In the famous gun-tossing scene late in the film, Tetsu uses an M1911A1 flash-paper or paper cap replica with the hammer removed. Otsuka (Eimei Esumi), Tanaka and Mutsuko (Tomoko Hamakawa) are seen with similar replicas early in the film.
