Jeff has it down cold. When I answer the door and open it for strangers, I never open the door completely and while I allow room for it to swing open fully (so I don't get nailed by it if some perp kicks it or pushes it open), I also have my left hand on it and my right side concealed by the door. In my right hand, I have an HK USPc .45 locked and loaded with the safety on. When I practice at the range, I practice from low ready with safety on so flipping the safety to fire has become second nature.
Otherwise, I think you did fine. The key is that you didn't open the door for them.
