If you do a Mozambique shooting format of 2 to the chest and 1 to the head you generally do not have to fire more than 3 rounds into most bad guys. Of course you could do a modified/emergency Mozambique where you put 1 round in the chest and 1 round into the bad guy's head. But unless you're using a rifle, then that means that the bad guys have to be pretty darn close to you if you're using a pistol for the accurate head shot to stop them. The key thing is shooting to stop the bad guys and keep yourself safe from harm. And that boils down to accuracy which involves a good amount of practice at the range.
