I have not had the problem with the BB flying across the room, but I did used to have a lot of problems using the holster - difficulty getting the BB into the holster to begin with. Then I realized I had been trying to put the BB into the holster backwards. That is, I had been putting it in with the face and buttons facing out, which seemed more intuitive. But it is supposed to be put in with the face and keys facing in. Once I figured that out, I stopped having any problems
