Does anyone have a NUMBER of the force to rack the slide on either of these; pounds-force or newtons.

I'll bet every manufactures knows the number for every model they produce but nobody publishes it.

Don't know, but if you need an easy racking gun... look into the S&W EZ 380 or EZ 9 pistol.

Slide retraction effort is 17.5 pounds for a 365. Gun Test magazine lists slide effort on all the guns they review.
