Face and Blind Nailing 3/4" Hardwood Flooring

Tags: Flooring & Stairs
I will be installing prefinished 3/4" Hardwood Flooring and was wondering if a DeWalt 15 Gauge D51275K Finish Nailer would be a good nailer to perform the face and blind nailing for the beginning and end rows of the 2.5" flooring planks?

Or would it be better to predrill the wood and use a hammmer/nailset to install the beginning and end rows?

I am installing the flooring in a 25-foot long hallway and in the living room.
