I can find no evidence or valid rationale for intentionally targeting the pelvic area in a gunfight. The reasons against, however, are many. They include:
Body armor comes to mind as an excellent reason to target the pelvic region, though I don't think Fackler is concerned with tactical issues so much as physiology in the quoted post, and seems to be arguing against targetting the pelvis as a primary target with a handgun, not a secondary target with a carbine or rifle for a failure drill.
