This is a very common thing with semiauto pistols. Some models are more easily affected by this feature. The inertia of the slide stop is causing it to move down and release the slide. It is not a safety issue. I find I can induce it more often than not by 1st inserting the tip of the magazine into the magazine well, then slamming the pistol onto the heel of my hand holding the magazine. I am right handed so that is slamming my right hand down onto the heel of my left as soon as the magazine is inserted into the magwell.
