If yours is anything like my P1D-CE, I would like to know how you plan on attaching said clip. Guess you could always drill holes through the body and screw it on. I carry a Surefire U2 on a pocket clip everyday, but the P1 is so small I would be afraid to lose it. I just drop it in my left front pocket with a money clip.

For $4.95 get a MiniMagLite Accessory kit (available at BrightGuy.com and others, even places like Campmor.com & REI.com).
The clip can be spread sufficiently AS it goes over the head of the P1D-CE. I know, as i have one in my left front pocket right now with the said clip on it.
The clip also fits other Fenix models (AA and CR123A). On some flashlights, it's easier to slip it onto the thinner part of the body and then force slide it up to the location where you really want it.
In one case (yeah,...i've bought several minimaglite accessory kits over the last year or so), i needed to pre-spread the clip just a bit before attempting to get it onto the flashlight.
In the case of the P1D-CE, it's easier to select your mode before clipping it to a cap brim/visor for hands-free use.
Obviously, the clip works well for afixing the P1D-CE to a shirt or pant pocket or a backpack strap, etc.
The clip from a older CMG/Gerber Infinity task light is also an option which i've used (haven't tried the newer Infinity clips).
You might also find an el-cheapo AA flashlight somewhere (Walmart???) with a removable clip on it that you could conscript into service on your Fenix.

Well Gee,
I never thought of that!
How old does one have to be to forget about Maglites and their accessory kits?
I have not used a Mag in years, but do have a old 2 AA and 3 AAA lying around somewhere, sans clips.
Might have to go to Wally-World and get me one of them kits.:thumbsup:

This is why my favorite Fenix light is actually a clone made by Nuwai, for River Rock. The RR 1watt, 1 AA model looks just like a Fenix light, but with a good pocket-carry clip. No holes are drilled into the barrel. The clip is of the wrap-around variety. And it works well! 42 lumens, very compact, and available at Target.
Nuwai has clearly shown that, if they really wanted to, Fenix could easily offer carry-clips on their lights. Would make a lot more sense than those POS belt pouches they offer.
