We are imagining things differently. I was after all the one standing there.
But you are the one who has to convince a jury that your actions were reasonable. FWIW, most courts have consistently rejected the concept of disparity of force for a one on one encounter barring some very unusual circumstances.

are you saying that if an approaching aggressor speaking violent profanities is steadily making his way towards you, you are not aloud to draw you gun to make him back off before he over takes you.
As a general rule, you don't get to use your gun to threaten someone with deadly force when it is not a deadly force situation.
