Hands-on testing

I live in Massachusetts, and I'm wondering where I would go to get my grubby little hands on some of the big-name flashlights (SureFire, HDS, Pelican, etc). Are there stores that reliably carry them?

Anyone?
:bump:

Surefire is carried by Cabelas, Sportsmans Warehouse, various sporting goods stores...you should certainly be able to find Surefire at some of your local security supplies type stores (find out where local law enforcement gets their supplies).

Not sure if you have any of the above stores or not...Pelican is carried at various sporting good stores. I don't think you'll find any of the HDS lights at local "brick & mortar" stores. :thinking:

Let you fingers "do the walking" in the yellow pages, call around - save gas!

Gander Mountain also has Surefire lights.
