A pusher is slideably mounted within the gap and biased to push fasteners toward the nose of the nailer. The magazine also includes a fastener track that includes a reduced portion and an enlarged portion to accommodate fasteners of different sizes. A shoe may be releasably attached to the bottom portion of the magazine and in one embodiment is V-shaped including a raised portion at one end. In another embodiment the shoe has a flat workpiece engagement portion.
