You can do it; all you need is a vise and some hard wood. They aren't on all that tight.

Timing the sights is the hardest.

Make sure you drive out the barrel lock pin beforehand.

This should be obvious but clamp, clamp, clamp.

The armorer at the P D in my city (hint hint) snapped a revolver frame removing a barrel.

Looking for a pistolsmith, NOT advice on DIY.

I don't know if he will even do them any more since he went almost exclusively scope mount, but Jack Wiegand did my barrel swap and customization on my model 58 back in the 90s. He is fantastic. He used to do S&W factory repair on contract.
