Will this nailer use slight headed nails?

Sight head nails fit Slight Head Brad Nailers only. The HP118K takes 23 Gauge Pin Nails, 1/2" Pins, 3/4" Pins & 1" Pins

Why won't the 1/2" pins stay in place when ever you drive one in, next one jumps from groove?

I have used both extremes in pin length, 1 3/16 and the shortest I think was 3/8, all with no problem. If the "next one jumps from the groove" as you say, are the pins still in the colated (glued together) row or have the ones you're using been separated before they were loaded into the nailer. Also are you using Bostitch pins or an off brand? I have always used Bostitch pins and I am careful not to separate them before they go into the nailer. This combination seems to always work fine for me. P.A. Schuster

Can this nailer go through oak - e.g. some oak cove or shoe molding?

This nailer will go through oak but I had to crank up the air pressure to above 95 psi to make sure it set the pins below the surface. Try it out on a piece of scrap and see what it does for you.
