No 1 I am thinking .38 Short Colt.
No 2 I don't know, open base jacket but mashed in nose. Cut nose dum dum or drilled hollowpoint in .30 Carbine MAYBE. Old .32 hollow or soft point.
No 3 Agree .45 Revolver, maybe .45 "Long" Colt 1873.

I was able to look at pictures on iPad, descriptions on PC. Phew.
