I must be lucky as I said mine rarely fails to sink the nails, in the last couple of weeks I've build some stud walls out of 100x50 and put up a fair length of post and rail fence 38mm rails , 75x75 posts all using 90mm galv ringshanks and fitted 20mm boards with 50mm and the only times I needed a hammer was to tap the timber into alignment before firing the gun, all softwood though.
I have had instances of jams in the past though as you said easy to clear unlike the Paslode I had which had it's share of jams. and I well remember the frustration of cold weather gas issues and jammed nails high up on a roof where I needed to come down to fix the issues. I uttered rather a lot of "oh deary me" shouts when that happened.
We can only speak as we find and I wasn't decrying the Paslode which served well me for years and thousands of nails but in my case I much prefer the DeWalt and at the time of swapping brands I was doing a lot of building and roofing in a professional capacity where working for myself downtime was extremely important.
Out of interest were your guns single or the later 2 speed? Mine is the early single.
