If it comes to the point that my weapon is drawn I will shoot to wound with two shots center mass. As many others have said, if the weapon is drawn and the threat continues rely on training. Shooting the arm, leg or head is a bad choice since they are smaller targets and can be in motion, a hit center mass is a hit that should stop the threat.
