Calling 911 as soon as possible would also be a good idea.

For those that have a car equipped with bluetooth, I do, call 911. I can do this by just pushing a button on the steering wheel and voice dialing. I don't have to pick up a phone or remove my hands from the wheel. Let him pull ahead of you first if possible. If he doesn't, continue driving around guiding the police to you if he follows trying not to put yourself into a position where he can pull up next to you again.
If he points the gun at you/me all bets are off!

Yea, as I said, it's overall a bad situation, so many variables that can/will be different. I guess you've just got to weigh the scenario, and make the best decision you can.
Oh, yea, and by the way, you've got .10 seconds to do that, with no advance warning.
It's reasons like this (and because there's so many non-drivers here in Houston) That I frequently feel like installing a Dash Cam and Rear bumper cam on my car, with a SSD DVR In the trunk that only I Have access to.
They way, for accidents (even ones I'm not involved in, I've witnessed 3 or 4 already that would have been caught on a dash-cam if I had one), road rage, etc, there's video backing it up.
I would have already pulled the tape for about a dozen different things by now...
I wonder if there's a reasonably priced kit out there, and If not, maybe I could design and market such a device.
