pretty sure the round head will have more space between the nails on the clip, therefore less nails in each clip, as opposed to the tightly packed clipped heads.

what are you using ? Seems clipped is a good idea ,,more on a strip ,,, Unless they are jamming or a lot less holding power .. |

I have used the Bostich(my neighbors) and it has stick nails clipped heads so many more to the clip, they are held together by wire. I also have Macs' old Hitachi that uses nails held together by plastic and there is a big space between them so less nails, the box is bigger that they come in.
either way, it's faster than hand nailing. When I framed houses in 1982-83 we hand nailed everything because the boss hated the guns since they broke down a lot.
I do some remodeling still and have the compressor so it helps to have a gun.

I read online some building inspectors do not want clipped head used in their town ? They want round head because they supposedly hold better (hurricanes).. Said the clip nails are cheaper to buy because they are not as expensive to make ,. I'm learning alot from you guys ,, already made 2 purchases I learned from here ,, compressor/finish nailer .. I just have to decide on the framer clip or round head ??? I'll tell you guys what I got ,, where I checked and what I paid for others ,,,further nail gun info..
Clipped or round head ????

No big deal, but stupid... Get one with a swivel.
