This usually done in conjunction with an interrupted trigger squeeze to get the trigger "set".

Holding the Barret in the standing off hand is not hard. It is balanced on the mag and as you can see in my avatar, I let the mag rest on my palm very similar to an offhand stop for international shooting. The weapon is actually more pleasant to shoot in the offhand as the back blast and recoil is less, as is the over pressure, no ground to bounce it back at you.

That used to be my issue, I would get it in the crosshairs and jerk like one would w/ a pistol. Once I learned that these shots are dooable, I settled down, and seem to make them more and more.
