tks for all the advice, the trigger was the wrong one.
he said that model is just Home Depots model of the "80", Bostitch's best selling nailer, so HD don't have to price other companies.

met some good people at the air tool shop here in town, they told me the multi shot trigger was sold on that model because it's so big, mostly contractors use it.

so he put the gray trigger on for $14, and sold me 2500 8 penny nails for $22.

Home Depot wanted $15 for the trigger

Yea, I never knew there was a different trigger for that.

Even the holding trigger method is a bit tough, try to nail somewhere in a spot that only has a couple inches of room and you'll set a few nails as it bounces off the boards behind it.
