After violence is unleashed in the opening sequence, the story settles on a former L.A. drug dealer Casey Wells (Thomas Jane), now a Houston architect living with his attractive wife Christine (Paula Marshall). When his ex-partner Nick (Aaron Eckhart) arrives out of the blue on a Thursday, asking for a place to stay for a few days, Casey invites him in but later gets curious about Nick's briefcase. After he opens it to find a huge helping of heroin, panic sets in, and he flushes it all away -- setting the stage for a variety of hoods and hitmen to turn up on Casey's suburban doorstep.
The following weapons were used in the film Thursday:
The M1911A1 is used by several characters throughout the movie, including Casey's ex-partner Nick (Aaron Eckhart), who carries a 1911 Government with a screw-on suppressor and custom grips. Rasta hit-man Ice (Glenn Plummer) holds Casey hostage with a chrome-plated 1911 Government pistol. In the flashbacks concerning Casey Wells' (Thomas Jane) previous life, he's seen firing two chrome-plated and pearl-gripped 1911 Government series pistols akimbo. Casey also gets a hold of Ice's 1911, but he never uses it.
During the flashback drug deal, a chrome-plated Desert Eagle Mark XIX can be seen on Ballpean's coffee table. Casey Wells (Thomas Jane) picks it up after the fire fight.
A couple of unknown handguns (semi-automatics) are seen during the flashback drug deal. They are seen very briefly, so they are harder to identify.

IMI Micro Uzi
Nick (Aaron Eckhart) uses a suppressed Micro Uzi in the flashback drug deal.
