Air Nailer/Pinner

Looking for opinions on an air nailer/pinner for shooting 1'' and less. I
want to use it on some 3/4'' material in assembly of some raised panel
doors. Just want to put a pin or two in each corner of rail/stile.

Thanks!

You might want to consider pinning once in the middle (top and bottom
rail) rather than at the corners, allow for normal wood movement.
Ideally, those panels float. Wood expands much more across the width.
If you stop it at the corners, it might warp in the middle.

As to a small pinner gizmo, perhaps one of the cheapo Harbor Freight
air guns for $20 on sale might do the trick. This is almost a craft
application. The board is quite thin there.

Many people here seem to think the Harbor Freight Brad Nailer that often
goes on sale for around $20 works a treat!

I am only nailing on the stiles, to hold the joint together, should the glue
ever fail.

I decided on a Porter Cable BN125A with some 5/8'' brads. It does a little
more than what I needed but I got a fair deal on it.

Thanks for everyones input!
