While I agree a hit is far better than a miss, I don't totally discount the idea of suppressive fire either, although I wouldn't recommend emptying the magazine with it, either.
It may disrupt the threat enough to allow you to get to cover safely or otherwise keep you safe momentarily.
Granted, given a one-on-one situation a detemintative first shot is better.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
