Just curious if the barrels are interchangeable between the PM9 and CM9 pistols?

Maybe, but you would have to get lucky because Kahr fits each individual barrel to the slide during manufacture. As I understand it, they grind down the barrel hood where it contacts the breach face to achieve the proper fit. Apparently, even CNC technology has its limits when you are trying to hold spacing to a couple of thousandths of an inch.

So, no chance of getting a drop-in threaded barrel for my CM9 then?

So you don't have to read the whole thread:
This is the reply that I received from Jay @ Kahr CS on 11/30/11 when I asked about using a CM barrel in my PM9.
Good morning. Thank you for the question. Unfortunately they are not
interchangeable.
sincerely,
Jay

And a follow-up to my next questionon 12/01/11:
Good morning. The barrels are completely different shapes and are not made
to lock with the slide in the same way. I hope this information helps and
apologize for any inconvenience.
sincerely,
Jay

Now, there are those here who have it on higher authority that this info from Jay is incorrect but it seems that Kahr will not comment further on the issue. No one from the higher authority has offered any impirical info to the contrary.
I would suggest that you contact Kahr directly. Posibly they will give you yet another answer.
And BTW...to date, no one on higher authority has yet to step up and clarify this issue. ;)
