Granted, I would either have a 270 or 7/08 with me as my primary hunting rifle, but I feel the liklihood of being able to employ it at that close of range is pretty slim.

Practice with it and you'll be able to.
Wish I had a dollar for every coyote I've killed at close range with a rifle. I've killed a couple or three with a handgun, too, but lots more with a rifle. A 'scoped rifle, btw.
Any centerfire handgun commonly used for SD on 2 legged coyotes will work fine on a mtn lion. Like Jack said, they're thin skinned, and not that hard to kill. 9mm, .357 mag or larger.
Use hollow point ammo.
