I think I'm ready to jump off and get a mill.
I'm likely to go with Grizzly, but would listen to other suggestions as well.
I have a Grizzly lathe and drill press that are each doing everything I need and doing it well so far, so that's why I'll likely stick with them. They have been good to me with orders and when I had a small issue with my lathe.
I'm looking at three. Here are some links. If you feel like looking, you can do a side by side comparison.

Most of the use will be for gunsmithing. I would like to cut dovetails for sights, mill off factory sights, etc. I would even mill some slides if possible.
I doubt it will run all day or that I'll have to be real fast with it. Accuracy is important since it would be used for sights and other things similar.
If that's too vague, please let me know what info I could share that would help me get good advice.
Thanks
