Precision, ergonomics, and purpose-built modifications define modern duty pistols. For operators and responsible owners who demand a firearm tuned for rapid follow-up shots and confident control, a factory-modified platform that addresses trigger, sighting, and recoil dynamics can make a measurable difference on the range and in high-stress scenarios.
SMITH & WESSON M&P 9 delivers a comprehensive Costa modification package tailored for tactical performance. 
The Costa package brings Half Top Serrations, Front Side Serrations, Top Porting, Slabbed Sides for side porting, and Side Porting to the slide — features that reduce muzzle flip, speed sight re-acquisition, and improve slide manipulation under stress. The slide is refinished in Hard Nitride Black and carries Custom Laser Engraved Costa and ATEi logos for a rugged, low-glare finish.
Key features and why they matter
The trigger is set to a 4.5lbs pull with minimal over-travel, which balances safety with reduced lock time for faster, more consistent shots. ISMI springs are tuned for controlled recoil — a 20lbs spring installed for standard use and a 22lbs option recommended for +P+ loads — giving the shooter options to match ammunition performance. The 10-8 Performance red fiber optic front sight paired with a U-notch rear sight enhances sight acquisition in daylight conditions.
Grip, control, and handling
This build includes traditional pattern 360° stippling in medium texture (with one backstrap), an undercut trigger guard, mag-well bevel, front index points, and trigger guard work—all aimed at improving hand purchase and reload speed. The pistol ships with one 17-round magazine and does not include a case. Price on this configuration is $999.99, placing it squarely in the premium-customized compact service pistol market.
