It seems so easy to make the wrong decision under this kind of pressure and that is precisely why you only use the pistol as a last resort in a life or death situation. Behind the keyboard it is easy to say what you would do but when put in the situation it's NOT that easy. In this case I'm trying to learn from my mistake..

What if he would have punched me in the face, etc? What then? Swing back? I wouldn't consider this a "life or death" situation even though he was bigger than me.. At what stage do you at least let him know you are carrying or engage the weopan if things start going south? Just trying to envision other scenarios so I'm more prepared for next time, which hopefully never comes.

At what point? For me, that point is when he breaks the plane of sticking his hands inside my vehicle, to punch me, strangle me, or whatever he plans to do to me. If you're hitting me in the face and we're not in a boxing ring with gloves and padded headgear on, I'm in fear for my life.
Once they stick their hands inside your vehicle, doesn't that fall under "castle doctrine" regs?
