Does anyone know if a PM slide (with a PM barrel) would fit on a CM frame? I was reading about how the Glock 30s was basically a 30sf with a 36 slide and I remembered that I have an extra PM45 slide and barrel. CM45s are a lot cheaper than the PMs.

I got nothing solid to back this up but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

The innards and everything on the frame is supposed to be the same. Just a little more cosmetics on the PM and the polygonal barrel.

I've seen folks do the Glock swap and know that works.

To the best of my knowledge, the receivers, lower internals are the exact same on P and CW, TP and CT, and PM and CM. Its the uppers that are different, mainly in the slide and barrel.

As follow-up, I bought a new CM45 today. The PM slide+barrel fits perfectly. I called Kahr and was told that they CM and PM frames were "totally different" and "each was specially made for the particular slide". BS. Still, I'm not sure I want to shoot it until I hear from somebody that has done it.

I think we need a few more threads about this sort of thing....
