As for "enough gun?" you actually didn't need ANY gun i.e. you didn't even expose it if I read you right, so in this case you had plenty of gun!
I'm with Dragonfighter/Ayoob:
I have the big brother to the 238, the P938 mostly just cuz I like 9mm; my wife has a Ruger LCP (tiny .380). Probably neither gun would actually stop dead a big drugged-up crazy person, but it might slow him down. Hopefully in a majority of incidents, such as the one you experienced and-we-hope-you-never-experience-again, a .44 magnum is not required...Dragonfighter wrote:"The right gun is the one you'll carry..."
Thanks again.
P.S. don't we all wish we performed like this guy. Wow, thanks Jim:
