I can't imagine shooting without a stock--must be heavy and hard to be accurate off hand?

You don't hold it as if it were a normal autoloading pistol.

You hold it like a rifle. Ideally the user actually uses the sling loop provided at the rear of the pistol and attaches a single point sling to it. You keep the sling around your body and push forward with the pistol to keep the sling taut. The taut sling actually helps keep the pistol stable when pressed out from the body.

It's definitely not designed for marksmanship, but you can certainly do some fast, combat-accurate shooting like that.

Sumthin' like this:



As the dinky image's file name suggests, i think this technique was developed by the SAS for use with PDW type weapons (MP5k in particular):



These are the best pics i can find for some reason.
