I bought a Taurus 24/7 (in 9mm) that does the same thing. You don't have to "slam" the mag in to make the slide move forward and chamber a round. I learned this would happen the hard way. We were teaching a friend how to shoot and of course, that's when it happened the first time. I have checked my other pistols to see if they do this and they don't. I took the Taurus to a gun shop, explained what was happening and after listening to all the "that can't happens" and after talking the guy into trying it, my point was proven. After showing all his gun shop friends, he told me I could send the pistol back to Taurus for them to fix it. We are going to live with it just because I am not sure about sending my guns off.
