Sideplate screwdriver question

[DCWilson]

I recently got Brownell's basic screwdriver set but was surprised to find that the smallest (or perhaps I should say narrowest) blade in the set was still too thick to enter the groove on revolver sideplate screws.

Is there a designated screwdriver for such screws that I should buy in addition?

Never mind. I was simply underinformed when I bought the first screwdriver set. I just found this item at Brownell's, which is the go-anywhere set for S&W screws.

On the S&W revolvers with the spring loaded plunger in the yoke screw, a Forster #2 & #16 take care of the sideplate screws.

Gentlemen, thank you both. If I lose or misplace the S&W set I just bought, I'll bear your recommendations in mind.
