Other than the original S&W screwdrivers that came with the guns (good for sights screws and stock screws), who makes a good screwdriver set that fits S&W revolver screws? S&W screws must have particularly narrow slots. I must own 50+ hollow ground screwdriver bits, but almost every one of them has a blade thickness that is too thick to properly fit a S&W screw slot. I even looked at some S&W screwdriver sets at MidwayUSA, and it looks like they're the same ones that everyone else sells (Made in China)- blades too thick. Suggestions? Thanks.

Many years ago I bought a set of Grace screw drivers made for the Smith revolver from Brownells. I don't think they carry them any longer. But I saw a set of Grace gunsmith screwdrivers at Cabelas last year. Maybe they have the Smith sizes. I also have an older magna tip screw driver for the Smith screws, but it is not tight enough and the bit for the side plate screws is too narrow. I try not to use it. Maybe the newer bits fit better.
 
+1 for the Brownell's magna-tip or whatever they're called. Excellent design and depending on the number/size of the bits it will all fit in the handle and takes up no extra space in the range bag.

they still have them. $41 for the 8 piece set.
