No I doupt it is made to a lesser standard, but there are notable difrences in the frame. Accesory rail, grip, mag well have al been mentioned.

Yes, and these are largely cosmetic. My point was that there is no functional difference between the two pistols. The frame differences mentioned have absolutely nothing to do with how well the pistol functions. And, as has been pointed out, the light rail on the SW99 is superior to the one incorporated on the P99 (which, of course, is a matter of opinion-and a feature that has absolutely nothing to do with the functional reliability of the gun).
fastbolt-good explanation of the NJSP guns. It is also interesting to note that a seperate instruction manual exists for the "NJSP" version (was and I assume still is available on the S&W web site). A flakey manual of arms to be sure, but that's what NJSP wanted (they thought). My understanding is that these modifications went against S&W recommendations, but NJSP insisted and the customer is always right. When they found out that it wasn't going to work out like they had planned, amazingly enough, the guns started having "reliability problems". An excellent way to bail out of a many hundreds-of-thousands of dollars contract for a bunch of pistols that require a goofy manual of arms that is the result of a modification made at your insistence against the manufacturer's recommendation.
I guess if I had to explain that to the Governor or legislature my guns would start having "reliability problems" too.
