Buy a good quality set, even though some cheap set will fit the screws, they may be soft, causing a bad problem as they may break or twist. nothing makes a nice gun look ugly than bad looking screws....When trading or buying guns, I always look at the screws first, they tell the tell on how a gun was maintained...

Magna Tip from Brownell's. Inferior quality products don't usually come with a Lifetime Guarantee ! You won't be disappointed, plus they're made in the USA !

Wheelers twisted up on me on the second screw, and it wasn't even that tight. Chapman fit perfectly and worked great. And they have a lot of sizes available. I haven't tried Brownell, so can't say. But I got everything I needed to disassemble all of my single action revolvers, including screwdriver handle, from Chapman for under 10 bucks, and have not found any reason to dislike the quality of the tools.
