I felt I have cheated on my Glock after my first P250 range trip

OMG The SIG P250 is like.... where have you been for all my life and why we haven't met earlier in life? I am not selling my Glocks yet as I will still need them for IPSC as the P250 is obviously not an IPSC gun (not even sure anyone had the guts to try it) But wow, this gun is amazingly good. Now I am truly worry about trying out the P320... may be that will get me selling all my Glocks...
 
After trying the P320 I sold my glock that second and will be buying the P320 soon. I just bought a P226 X5 and just brought it home today. Its like glock who now
 
tell me about it. i just decked out my g17 just to leave it in the dust after i got my p226. there is just no comparison with a plastic and metal body. i do like the glock look more. wish they did a metal body to soak up some more recoil.
 
I don't like the look of them but anytime I have tried a Glock I've shot the best groupings of my life. I should probably step up and just buy one.

Polymer is superior on several levels. Glock is the king of polymer and will likely never do a steel or aluminum framed gun. There is very little recoil with most polymer guns.
 
"There is very little recoil with most polymer guns."

Please explain. And just to be clear I have polymer guns and all steel guns. And I shoot them every week. And the polymer guns have the most recoil. And physics would predict...
 
Perceived recoil has very little to do with frame material. There is far more at work than just the weight of the grasped, non reciprocating part of the gun. Things like height over bore, total mass of all reciprocating parts & shooter ability play a far greater roll in perceived recoil. Then again, there's a reason why the proper technical term is called perceived recoil and not just recoil.

FoxAlpha nailed it. Polymer guns with a low bore axis like a Glock have very little muzzle flip which is what the issue is. You can't beat physics and there will be recoil but the path of that recoil movement is what makes some guns "feel" like their recoil is worse than it is. A polymer pistol in 9mm is probably the easiest pistol to shoot/control as far as recoil is concerned.

Although I agree there are many (many) factors at play. The above poster is correct in that all things being equal the heavier frame will have less recoil both felt and actual.
