Glad it worked out as well as it did for you. I cannot imagine carrying an auto loader with an empty chamber for just that reason. Those long, heavy double actions are as safe as you can get for pocket carry.
And I don't see any way you could out draw a gun already pointed at you. Only hope would be a distraction or engaging him in hand to hand combat and even then you're taking a big chance of getting shot.
I can't claim to know how I'd react in the same situation but I'd say you handled yourself very well!
