Easy enough to do: Take a 9, 10, or 11 pound weight, tie a piece of string to it, tie the other end around the toggle of an unloaded, cocked, un-magazined 1900 and hold it by the barrel [barrel pointing up] with the weight hanging down and see if it racks the toggle back to the stop...

Well, I took a 10 pound weight and tied a string around the same area you were pulling from on the toggle. I tried to hold the gun at the same angle as yours as seen in your pictures. My toggle did not fully pull all the way back with that weight and that method. I wanna get something that will give me an actual measurement. But I think it aint going to be much more than 10 pounds. Cause it comes close to being pulled all the way to stop, but just a hair shy.
