I am pretty sure I know how it happened. Either me, my fiancée, or anyone else that attempted to field strip the gun could have damaged the spring. It's a little difficult to work at first so it's easy to get it to jam up and bend if you try to force the slide. If you bend it enough it won't retain the slide lock and when the gun is turned on its side it can fall out.

It's an easy fix, though, so I'm not worried. I ordered a couple replacement springs for all my Glocks and some extended slide locks as well.
