That may be it...

To me a Glock 19 is more snappy than the P229. The latter is probably a little heavier but I don't have them anymore to compare. Other things may play into it as well like recoil spring weight and like you said, ergonomics. I know I don't have the shooting experience of Charles Petty and he may be more in tune to little peculiarities that I don't notice but I suspect if you gave a shooting amateur a Glock 19 and a P229 or a G17 and P226 and let him/her shoot them side by side, they wouldn't say the Glock recoils less. I just suspect there are two many variables to say polymer shoots softer than metal frame guns because it flexes. That's my thoughts anyhow:)
