Is it common on these guns?

Somewhat common, especially if there is a bit of wear on the notch. Because of the weak recoil spring, it's not hard to jar the slide catch loose.
Installing a stiffer recoil spring could fix this problem temporarily, but it could also speed up wear in the event the slide catch continues to slip free. The added forward force from the spring will wear the notch down faster.
