bosh, portercable, ryobi, metabo all make narrow crown staplers, and the staples fit most any gun. The portercable NS150 is a good gun as is the metabo. Both are around $100 or less at lowes/home depot,etc.
For that matter, if one is really on a budget, Harbor Freight sells a narrow crown stapler for $25 (less whatever coupon discount you can find). I don't have personal experience with that particular unit, but the HF pin brad nailer and wide crown stapler (as in T-50) I have seem to work just fine for my fairly casual use. Their safeties are somewhat questionable, but the larger ones including the stapler talked about here have better safety systems.
