Brad,
Welcome to the forum. As you can see this section of the forum barely has any topics. The M&P .40 has a very good track record so far in this forum. I have shot couple hundred round of WWB with no problem my self. I am sure its just a fluke that S&W will fix for you.
Having said that I have notice if you slam a half loaded mag too hard the nose of the rounds inside the mag will shift upward and cause a potential failure. This is result of lack of spring tension. If I fully load my CA legal 10rounds in the mag and slam it home, rounds inside the mag will sit still.
I am sorry, this happens to you as a brand new M&P owner. Give it another chance and keep us posted.
Also, the slide releases automatically when you slam in a fresh mag is an unintentional side effect of the M&P design. This subject has been visited many times here.
Here is a recent post of it:

In short, it suppose to do that :wink:
