Yup, sure been that way as long as I have been using them. I have
never had any framing nailer that >didn't< spark.
Not sure at this point I would trust one the didn't throw off a good
spark now and then.

Yes, they do that and its normal. I believe it is caused by the
violent separation of the nail from the thin wire that hold the nails
together.
Also, make sure you place a few drops of oil down the air feed before
each days use.

It's common. There are even warnings not to use framing nailers around
flammable materials because of the occurrence.

I have seen sparks when using a regular hammer on framing nails. I strongly
suspect it is the striker hitting the nail that creates the spark. My Senco
finish nailer does this occasionally also.
