Default Opinions on 1/2" pistol drills

Has anyone bought a currently available model they especially like?

Extra points for:

-Jacobs chuck (not keyless), or a 1/2-20 spindle that will accept the
chuck off my old drill.
-Good speed control and convenient reverse for power tapping.
-*Not* the Milwaukee Magnum style long trigger, which IMO is an
ergonomic abomination. I notice some of the newer Milwaukees have a
shorter 2-finger trigger.
-Something that won't twist your arm off before you can release the
trigger when it jams. I've got a 1/2" spade handle drill for when I want
to beat myself up.
