Without a stock you are limited to hip shooting or a risky upright hold with out a shouldering.
Also if the hammers and barrel selector is reset by recoil, it may fail to do so similar to "limp wristing" a semi auto handgun.
I also know of quite a few folks who took the action opening lever into the web 'tween thumb and forefinger... many were pretty deep wounds one at least, needing surgery to repair.
Leaving the stock doesn't remove the ability to hip shoot for fun but you retain so many other options.
