FBI now teaches shooting from the hip as rapidly as possible and, if possible, aiming FOR the hip of the bad guy.

Het the hip/pelvis and they will drop...allowing you to get to cover.

It can take a man several minutes to die from a couple of chest shots...and he can keep shooting while bleeding out.

Proof? Because that would be a stupid tactic...

Which is what many of the old timers--of the few who engaged in such fights--did with their single action revolvers. Friends, don't discount a man with a sixshooter in an antiquated kind of rig.
