Yes. The ammunition in a pistol does not require outside air in order to fire; it gets all the oxygen it needs from the nitrates in the cartridge, so gunpowder would still work on the moon.

Would 45 caliber pistols work on the moon?
It depends what mechanism they use. An air pistol which uses compressed air would work, but any mechanism which needs ignition (e.g. a traditional firearm where the bullet is propelled by gunpowder) or an external air source would not.
Would a 0.45 caliber pistol work on the moon?
Actually it would because one of the ingredients in gun powder is potassium nitrate which is an oxidising agent. This supplies the powder with the oxygen it needs to burn of "deflagrate". Guns can, but shouldn't be fired underwater, so yes you can fire a gun on the moon.
