As someone who can get a little exuberant performing mag changes, ALL of our autos have released the slide from lock upon magazine insertion in my hands.

Who inserts a magazine without intending to make ready, anyway?

On the rear sight problem...stuff happens.

My Gen 3 Glocks will release the slide when the mag is slammed home. I actually like it. It makes for a much faster reload. I had to retrain myself when I switched over to the Gen 4.

The slide lock has a spring pulling it down. The follower pushes up on it. If you slap a heavy magazine into the gun you giggle the slide enough to release the slide lock. The chances are greatest with polymer guns. They are lighter and flexible. If its happening when you put a magazine in without much force you might want to investigate that.

Shipping a gun yourself to the manufacturer has the benefit of them shipping it directly back to you. Saves time.

I didn't read everything, but I had a sd40, problem pistol from day one, sent it back to smith, returned three weeks later, still had half the issues. Instead of sending it off again I traded it for a sccy cpx2, ran that one yesterday, it had one issue, trigger wouldonly reset with no pressure on the trigger making a "double tap" near impossible, I will take that small issue over the many issues with the sd, now the only s&w product I own is a 1898 break top 38s&w, at least 120 years ago it seems like they cared, that revolver has no issues other than pitting and no finish left, I had enough issues that I will never purchase another auto anything with a Smith name, won't shoot what I can't trust.
