Rugged Adventures from Pulp Figures is free
http://www.pulpfigures.com/download.php?custID=71190842141266961499
I have played Rattraps .45 Adventures and recommend it, but it will cost you. There are some free downloads and the speakeasy site has a feature which allows you to print out the stats for the characters you design.

Geezers has 2 rules sets, one British and 1 Miami vice

I believe both are for sale and the picture of the cover is coming soon, but check with Craig.

So you don't have much choice unless you are willing to part with a buck or ten.

Two hour wargames offers Chain Reaction 3 for free. The basic rules include modern/near future gangs vs. police. There is also a free gangsters supplement available at the link that covers 20s/30s gangsters and inclludes some campaign rules.

Chaos in Cairo could be easily adapted to a Gangster setting.  There are even rules for Tommyguns in it.   ;)
