So A) With no other weapon that what's available in the room, or at best some baseball bat/golf club/knife that you've brought with you and B) Without being able to know what is on the other side of the door because they guy covered the peephole you'd just swing the door open and confront him? What's your plan when you're staring down the business end of a .45?


Being able to open the door with sidearm drawn changes the entire scenario, but in OP's case with no serious weapon it's not a smart decision.
