Re: Had to(?) show my G19 ... I think ...

I agree your actions were appropriate.

For other people -- especially newbies -- who may end up reading this thread, I have also seen multiple cases where the display of a handgun in a road rage situation resulted in being charged and convicted. The key differentiators in your case are threefold:
  1. You were boxed in and had no other way to escape. This is key.
  2. Hitting your window makes it unlawfully attempting with force to enter your vehicle, thereby helping to justify deadly force.
  3. Dialing 911. The legal system is set up to assume two roles in the drama: victim complainant and perpetrator. Better to establish one's status as the victim complainant.
