Easiest way I've found is pulling the slide back while pushing the gun forward, working equally with each hand.

Wolf Springs are suppliers of lighter weight springs. And like the above poster says, hold the pistol close to your body, reach over with your left and grab the slide (not blocking the ejection port) and push the right hand holding the frame forward. When the slide is back all the way, or the frame is forward all the way, let go. Don't ride the slide when it is closing, just let it snap shut.
