Generally if you slam the mag in hard enough then yes that could cause it. No it's not a problem, ease up on how hard your putting (slamming) it in.
If it is happening on an empty mag then you do have a problem.
Doesn't seem right. You aren't slamming/smacking the mag hard up into the mag-well are you?
You do realize that doing so can ruin your magazine feed lips, and bump the slide lock out of the locking position?
If you ARE smacking your mag, STOP THAT!

This is a well-known "feature" of the M&P pistols...
Doesn't take much force on an inserted mag to get the slide to go into battery.
Let it fall, rack the slide, shoot.
(racking the slide is a function of training - even though it may chamber a round every time it falls once a mag is inserted, the ONE time that it doesn't catch the round will be the ONE time that you need a round in the chamber RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND OR I'M GOING TO DIE scenario we all pray doesn't happen. So what if you jack a live round onto the ground. Pick it up when you're done.)
