A pelvic shot is good, if you get good placement. Break the pelvis, or a hip socket or a thigh bone and most people will not remain standing. I teach to focus on the abdomen, as almost everybody will shoot high in one-on-one combat. It is instinctive to focus on the perp's eyes or hands. However, remember that you will shoot closer to where you are FOCUSED than on where you think you are aiming.

There is a whole theory and practice related to this, called point-shooting. If you are interested, I have a little game which will surprise you. It involves 7 yard shooting and is a lot of fun, but takes some practice to get good at it.
