The 1911 pistol was first accepted into US Military service in 1911. It fires the .45 ACP (11.65x23mm) cartridge, and operates using a single action mechanism. The M1911A1 made some minor improvements to the original design.

What is a 45mm pistol?

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.

What is the muzzle velocity of a .45 caliber bullet?

Depends on which .45- 45 Colt, 45 ACP, 45 Magnum, 45-70, and which bullet, and what it is fired from. If you mean the .45 ACP fired by a 1911A1 pistol, velocity varies from 830 FPS up to about 1020 fps. Slow, fat, but gets the job done.
