I don't have a steel framed Sig 226 so I can't test this myself...........the steel framed 226 is a 42 ounce gun but it has a higher bore axis than say a Shadow or a Tanfo which are both a few ounces lighter. Is the muzzle flip in the all steel 42 ounce 226 more pronounced than the Shadow or the Stock 2 ?
muzzle flip

Thanks for pointing that out, I edited the error.
What Mo said.
You will find the Shadow and/or Tanfo will display less flip than the Sig. The higher bore axis of the Sig will have more of an effect on muzzle flip than the weight differential. Also, keep in mind that while extra weight might might be harder to get moving (inertia), it is also harder to stop once it is moving (momentum). So it's a trade-off.

I have found that the Sigs and HK's from the factory have the heaviest recoil springs...both are dual coil captive assemblies. (no doubt because they figure they are duty type / self defencse type ammo based....
Basically....you should never have to change them...the more worked in they are...the better.
If you use down loaded ammo,..you made get the odd FTE...or short stroke of the slide. HK and Sig should smarten up and offer a factory recoil assembly kit for downloaded ammo. (ie: target ammo,..non-HST/ self defence ammo)

Not only that, but Sig also has a heavier slide then Shadow. So, more moving mass.
