In the movie Road to APerdition Jude Law uses a rather cheesy-looking automatic pistol. Anybody know what kind it is?

Terrible gun play in the movie, but it looks like a .32 to me. 
Which one was Jude Law? The photographer?
If so, when he shot Hanks from the hotel window, and/or at the diner, he used a Savage semiauto pistol in .32 ACP. I forget the model number, but it was quite popular in the period, though underpowered.
Yes.
Gun Nut Tangent: Did it annoy anybody else that the hammer of Sullivan’s 1911 was always down?
Coming off the single-action-revolver days as they were in the era, it was quite common to carry the pistol hammer-down, often over an empty chamber, sometimes over a live round.
In other words, just as the average Joe wasn’t going to carry an old Colt revolver with the hammer cocked, neither were they going to carry the automatic cocked (even though that’s how it was designed.)
US Military doctrine of the time- and indeed, up until relatively recently, from what I’m given to understand- was to carry the gun hammer down on an empty chamber, and to rack the slide only when actually in a confrontation wherein you may be forced to fire.
Makes sense, but he never cocked the hammer, even when he shot the guy in the bathtub. I guess it’s more of a fake-gun-for-safety issue than a legitimate factual inaccuracy.
That sort of inattention to detail really bugs me: telling someone that the “safety is on” when it’s clearly a revolver being referred to; racking the slide on an automatic before firing each round; repeatedly racking a shotgun when no round has been fired; continuing to fire an M-16 when you can see that the bolt is locked back (meaning the mag is empty). Bad editing and clueless directors.
Spoiler tags don’t work anymore?
