Thanks man, all great points, and i have taken steps on all of your points, thanksJarhead, forgive the johnny-come lately but i have read your inital posting, everyone's as well as your responses and noticed a salient absence of anyone HIGHLY recommending getting some professional SD training.
1. You have a WA state permit which does not mandate live-fire exercises, so by your own admission you allowed the perb to get too close; you fumbled getting your defensive firearm drawn; if you had drawn on the perb that close, due to size differences pulling your firearm could have had it taken away form you and they could have been beating you with it - fortunately the perb couldn't shoot you cuz you didn't have one in the chamber.
Take NRA in/outside the home personal protection courses. NRA Training
If ya do not the nation's goldstandard training cadres, find an outside group to give you a knowledge/skill/attitude SD training course which includes drawing from holster live-fire. Outside PP you will expend approximately 300+ rounds, inside PP 200 rounds.
Next, verbal assault is normally not a deadly force justification nor is simple assualt of approaching you, size difference notwithstanding! You got bullied noting more!
Further, you waited an hour to notify LE, if the perb notified LE's first, you would have been playing judicial justification why you brandish a firearm in an elevator against a legitimate guest of a resident of the property.
Finally, one hopes the lesson you learned from your event is to stand quietly while the big dog is standing next to you urinating on your leg otherwise you could have gotten seriously injuried cuz you didn't have a clue and were totally unprepared.
