Kind of depends on what you consider stiff. The switch on mine offers enough resistance so as to reduce the chance of accidentally flipping it on or off, but I wouldn't consider it to be especially stiff. From what I recall of TLR switches, I suppose it is a bit stiffer.

The TLR switch is too easy to activate partially because you use it for temp activation. On Surefire you press from rear toward front. You don't want to accidentally activate perm on which is what the up and down is for. Please don't tell me you are trying to use the Ricker up and down for temporary activation.

Compared to the Surefire, the TLR switch is a loose whore.
No, I'm not temp activating the X300 with the rocker. It is spring loaded. But there is so much drag in the rocker switch, it feels cheaply designed. The clamping and screw, suck |

All my TLR pistol lights are much loser, easier to activate than any Surefire X300 that I have tried.
I prefer the TLR lose/easy activation, although the Surefire "seems" more durable. They also work differently...TLR you push down while the SF you push forward (temp. activation) |

It's normal, and desirable for serious use.
The TLRs could get you into trouble with negligently discharging it drawing/holstering. |

I prefer the stiffer operation of the Surefire having owned Streamlight as well.
