Default What guns do these holsters fit?

As I move things back home that have been stored since after 2018's fire I realized that I had a number of holsters, some of which I acquired from Forum members, but I didn't know what guns they were intended for. So tonight was the night for mix and match.

I know that I have more holsters stored and this might happen again.

I wound up with three holsters that I cannot fit any guns into, not properly, anyway. Maybe some of y'all can assist. The ElPaso Saddlery I can probably get an answer for from the maker but the other two won't be as easy.

1.

El Paso Saddlery

The holster is a "C-Force" (Covety Force) style. I was sure it was for my CS-45 but it appears to actually be for a K frame. The problem is I couldn't get a K frame to fit properly but maybe I had the wrong guns.

Markings:

3
14
K4.25

7272

2.

Tex Shoemaker & Son

Markings

11PC

3.

Tagua Gun Leather

The plastic bag it's in says "S&W L Frame 2-1/2"
BH1-902

The holster has no markings and I could not get a 2-1/2" M686+ to fit into that holster properly.

Could it possibly be that it's for a 6-shot M686 and the larger cylinder is the problem?

Thanks.

FWI, the cylinder diameter is the same in 6 shot and 7 shot 686s.

You know, I actually remember being told that more than once. I guess I just don't pay sufficient attention! Thanks for the reminder.
