No the flashlight is not available on target.com. I've also looked for the mini dorcy on target.com You will have to make a trip down to target and purchase one or I can ship you one.
There are lots of threads on cpf and lpf concerning flashlights that are available from DX. The main problem with purchasing a flashlight from DX is the driver circuits inside them are unknown as are how the flashlight is assembled. Sometimes it is impossible to modify the way a flashlight is put together to make it work for a Laser host. Secondly if the driver circuit is not suitable you will end up having to get another driver circuit either made of purchased seperatley. I know we are trying to save money in these ventures of trying to build our own lasers but SOMETIMES it's better to buy what works.
