It doesn't seem common to find them in stores, but it happens. Maybe it'll become more common soon.

Some sports and outdoors shops carry them. You can also buy them rebranded under by Leatherman in places like Costco.

Here in Canada a store called "The General Store" has them.
On the back of the boxes there is a sticker of the guy's email addy
so if you want him to bring a certain light (TK11 in my case) to the store he will do what he can to help you out.

A few stores haven them, but I haven't seen any yet.
As long as you buy from a good store, online or not, you should be fine. If there is a friendly CPFer in your area, they might also have Fenix lights.

Most (not all ) internet stores have store fronts somewhere. Brightguy.com is 15 minutes from my house and does a lot of walk in sales though most of their sales are internet based. I buy most of my Fenix products from them.

The leatherman is a L1T re-brand, that also includes a multi- tool. Great deal for $49 & B&M, backed by Costco wholesale return policy. Sell the multi-tool on ebay and end up with a $55 light for ~$25, kit also includes extra O-rings, button cover and wrist lanyard.

Another shout out for Brightguy. We've set up a couple of CPF gatherings at his place where the attendees were able to compare Fenix to all of the other brands there.
I think I've seen Fenix at Gander Mountain but I'm not positive.

Our local Gander Mountain, assuming we are in the same area, ( sounds like it) has a SureFire display case, but I've never seen a Fenix Product?

I remember seeing Surefire at Gander Mountain, but I did see a Fenix display in a B&M store locally somewhere. Fenix products are generally harder to find at B&M stores than Surefire though.

I seem to recall there being a camping store in Asheville, NC that carried Fenix lights. Don't think they're around any more. I'd bet 4Sevens has the answer to this question.

I hope not, what I love about these lights is that they are unique and not everyone has one. If everyone did I wouldnt feel special and wouldn't be able to show them off to anyone!

Here in London, I've seen Fenix torches sold in three shops, A-Z electronics ( 2 shops in West End), and in the 'SPY' franchise in the basement at Selfridges.
Of course all these places charge much more than you can get a Fenix for on the Internet - even more than UK based internet companies. But, at least they are friendly and helpful, and they do have to pay the exorbitant rent in these places. I haven't had the fever to buy one from these places at these prices, knowledge is a powerful dampener of desire!
Maybe if somewhere like Homebase or Dyas can get a license to sell them, the retail cost will go down, but in my experience, most non-flashaholic people don't really care much about what they use. Fair enough, to each their own I suppose.
It is nice to be able to go in and try out the lights you later buy on the net, though :twothumbs.
Be lucky...
