Start by reading the field manual on the M9 pistol, which has THIS information-
1-7. CLEANING, LUBRICATION, AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
The M9 or M11 pistol should be disassembled into its major components and cleaned immediately after firing. All metal components and surfaces that have been exposed to powder fouling should be cleaned using CLP on a bore-cleaning patch. The same procedure is used to clean the receiver. After it has been cleaned and wiped dry, a thin coat of CLP is applied by rubbing with a cloth. This lubricates and preserves the exposed metal parts during all normal temperature ranges. When not in use, the pistol should be inspected weekly and cleaned and lubricated when necessary.
CAUTION
When using CLP, do not use any other type cleaner. Never mix CLP with RBC or LSA.
a. Clear and disassemble the weapon.
b. Wipe or brush dirt, dust, and carbon buildup from the disassembled pistol.
c. Use CLP to help remove carbon buildup and stubborn dirt and grime.
d. Pay particular attention to the bolt face, guide rails on the receiver, grooves on the slide, and other hard-to-reach areas.NOTE:Do not use mineral spirits, paint thinner, or dry cleaning solvent to clean the pistol. Use only issued lubricants and cleaners, such as CLP or LSA.
e. Clean the bore and chamber using CLP and fresh swabs.
f. Lubricate the pistol by covering all surfaces including the bore and chamber with a light coat of CLP. In extremely hot or cold weather, refer to the technical manual for lubricating procedures and materials.

Answer The Colt .45 caliber automatic pistol was accepted as the standard side arm of the US Army and became identified as the Model 1911 Pistol. The bullet developed for use in this new design of automatic pistol was called the .45 ACP or the .45 Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge. It stands for "Automatic Colt Pistol" because it was adopted for the Colt 1911 only by the US army.You get many variants the most prolific being the .45 GAP for glock handguns.It's patented I believe.
The US Army were issued the Model 1911 Colt .45 automatic pistol.
The common sidearm pistol issued to the US Army is the M17/M18 Modular Handgun System, which is based on the SIG Sauer P320 pistol. It is a 9mm caliber semi-automatic pistol that replaced the previous generation M9 Beretta pistol.
The Colt M1911 pistol entered service with the United States Army on March 29th, 1911. The Navy and Marines later adopted the pistol in 1913. Its formal designation was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911.
The current issue rifle of the British armed forces is the L85-A2 or SA80 (Small Arms 1980s) as it is commonly known. It is a 5.56mm calibre assault rifle. It is a bullpup, meaning that the pistol grip and trigger are in front of the magazine housing. It's magazines hold 30 rounds, and the weapon has two modes of fire; semi automatic and automatic.
Automatic Colt Pistol The Model 1911 pistol was developed for the Army. Most bullets (cartridges) had a large base for use in the cylinder of a revolver. The Colt pistol was automatic and used a clip so the cartridge did not have a base that was wider than the bullet. This bullet was specially designed for this gun. It became known as the .45 ACP so it would not be confused with other bullets.
No such thing. It is a typo. A 45 mm pistol would fire a bullet larger than a golf ball. I think you are looking for a .45 CALIBER pistol. That is a handgun that fires a bullet about 45/100ths of an inch in diameter. Perhaps the two best known are the 45 Colt Peacemaker type revolver of cowboy fame, and the 1911A1 .45 Automatic Pistol, used by the US Army.
market value depends on overall condition. It would appear someone put a nickel finish on your pistol which would reduce the value. the 45 pistol would have a parkerized finish for WW2
