What ammunition were you using?
Are you right-handed? If so, if you're skilled enough to shoot left-handed, try the same 3 magazines when shooting left-handed. If the "problem" doesn't occur shooting left-handed, re-examine your right-handed grip, with particular attention to your thumb placement.
If it continues to happen, you could call S&W to have it checked under warranty.
Typically, if "early slide stop" occurs while using different magazines, it's reasonable to look at the ammunition (bullet nose profile bumping against inside tab of slide stop lever), the shooter (grip, thumb placement) and then the gun (slide stop or plunger/plunger spring problem).
