What's a good physical standalone gamebook?

I'd like to start getting into gamebooks, but don't want to start buying a series just yet. I know the Lone Wolf books are free, and I downloaded them.

But I want a standalone book I can get into, I really want the analog pen-and-paper experience.

Genre isn't super important. Sci-fi, fantasy, post-apocalypse, horror, or even western, if those exist. I just want something to dip my toes in, so to speak.

Update: I bought 3 books from a used books store online The Warlock of Firetop Mountain (Fighting Fantasy), Dragon Quest, and The Cave of Time (Choose your own adventure #1)

Not sure what to expect, but I figured it couldn't hurt to try a few of them blind, they didn't exactly break the bank

How do I get this screw out?

Got my first S&W, a 638-3 that was supposedly brand new. Which I highly doubt after I cleaned it and found powder residue behind the hammer and on the cylinder detent.

But that's not what this post is about. I noticed this one screw already looked like someone had been close to stripping it out, and even with a screw that fits like a glove, it doesn't budge. I didn't want to keep trying because now I'm worried I'll finish it off.

On a side note, I noticed the cylinder has to be moved to open, but I'm not sure if that is something that is supposed to get fixed when the gun is broken in (if it isn't already), or if I should just contact S&W and send it to them at this point.

I've seen a few pictures of the big TISAS on the side of their 1911's, and honestly, it looks bad. The markings besides the serial number should just be on the bottom of the shroud, who do I get in touch with to file a complaint or something?

Edit: the email is tisas@tisasarms.com if anyone wants to let them know you don't like it.
