Check out Columbia Coatings http://columbiacoatings.com/  They sell 
both the H.F. and the Sears guns (for less than their normal source) 
as well as professional guns.  They're very hobbyist friendly.

Apparently they're following the ink-jet printer model of giving away 
the equipment and making their $$$ on consumables.  Although unlike 
the printer guys, they're a great company with good support (wish 
they didn't feel it necessary to parade their religion on the page, tho')

I've had good luck with the H.F. gun, and have read elsewhere it's 
better than the Eastwood.  Also heard the Sears is good for small 
jobs and quick color changes, but not well suited to larger projects.
