In the market for my first handgun, and was wondering which frame material would reduce recoil more, steel or polymer? I've been told conflicting things. I asked a guy at the gun store and he told me that the steel frame would mitigate the recoil better because of the increased weight. A guy at the range told me the polymer frame would absorb the energy from the recoil better. I'm really new to handguns, so any input would be much appreciated. I've fired a SIG P226 and Glock 17 and really couldn't tell the difference in regard to recoil. Thank you in advance.
