Automatic Colt Pistol. Colt invented the .45 Auto and thus had the right to name it.
Generally it is a small concealable auto loading pistol of limited power. It takes its name from the .25 ACP cartridge that it fires. It is called .25 caliber (notice the decimal point?) since the bullet it fires is about 25/100ths of an inch in diameter.
The caliber of this weapon is .45 ACP, or it's full name is .45 Automatic Colt Pistol.
Same round, different name
