Or a pen...
Yes, I did the thing with the pen, but you have to physically reconstruct the spring with a couple of pairs of pliers, since the factory spring is held in its proper position/orientation by its larger coils not protruding from the inside of the switch...or it won't work. I guarantee this.

Thanks for the tip. I just got a Legend LX, and the switch does indeed require two (strong) hands. I'll have to look into the spring thing. (What is it these days about so many GOOD flashlights with BAD switches?)

Mine worked fine for me, stock.... but it's fun to hand it to someone smaller than me, and watch them try to work it.

There's a thought-. a switch with a bolt to tighten to adjust spring tension.... the LX is pretty close, I just haven't gotten the courage to risk damaging my new light just to find out if the tailcap comes apart.

I for one, do not mind the stiffness of the legend LX. Prevents it from going off in my pocket, and do not have any trouble activating it with my thumb, one handed.
Thanks for the mod, Mr. Bulk (TM)!
I do know that a lot of people would like a softer switch (I am not one of them however!)
