As others have pointed out, the "foot" shot may be wishful thinking. However, along those lines (avoiding richochets, minimizing chance of hitting innocents, desiring to break down BG's mobility, etc.) - kneeling and taking an upward trajectory pelvic shot is suggested by some. This has the advantage of you being low and a smaller target, your bullet trajectory is likely to miss immediate bystanders, and getting hit in the pelvis - especially with a large calibrer pistol round - is probably going to make the BG fall down and stay down.

I didn't invent this one - I read it on the internet:)

Now - if you can just remember all that when the adrenaline dump occurs!
