One of the top of the line guns is the Max FN 235A. Rear exhaust, pin point placement tip with no mar cover, accepts largest range of pins without having to alter the magazine. First class pro gun.

Beat it to fit / Paint it to match
Look at the Bostitch HP118K. it will drive a 1 3/16 " pin, and you have your choice of high and low power. Good luck.

I bought a cheap import pin nailer maybe 6 months ago and loved it. Used it all the time for all kinds of applications. Great to glue, nail, and never see the hole. And then it started jamming. No more fun. So I am in the market for a good pinner as well and would also appreciate input.

I have a Senco 18ga gun. It is great.
The latest Journal of Light Construction has an article/review/comparison of the 23ga guns.
I picked up a copy and reviewed the article thanks for the suggestion. It looks like I'm considering the cadex for it dual use capability.
