They generally held a K Frame Smith or a Colt OP. I've never seen one for an auto loader before.

Yep, they were made for autos, some anyway. We had an idiot, I mean officer, who had one for his Taurus PT92. This would have been early 90s. Don’t recall the maker. The rest of us carried Hoyt break fronts.
