i wouldnt pull the gun unless i intend to shoot. anything less is asking for trouble.

In all but a few states, pulling the gun if you are not
justified in using deadly force is asking for real trouble.
However, things can change instantly, and if the justification ceases, you had better not shoot.

There are many situations that call for you to hold someone at gunpoint.

Very few, actually. First, check the law on citizens arrests in your jurisdiction.
And while it may seam to be the right thing to do, what do you do if that someone elects to not comply (hint: in 99% of the cases, you may not shoot)? What if you shoot inadvertently? What about that accomplice who ambushes you when you are preoccupied? The armed citizen, to whom
you look like a bad guy? The arriving sheriff summoned by someone else?
Not a good idea. It's for television, movies, and comic books.
