I've been in a similar situation before, with an abusive ex of my sister's threatening her, my parents, my partner, and I with a knife. I extracted myself and my partner (who was pregnant at the time) and called the cops.

This is 100% the right move. Firstly, we don't know if the children were there. Secondly, getting into a physical fight with your ex's new partner in front of you children is an awful idea for so many reasons.
If the ex is truly violating the court order and you had to call the cops to enforce it, the courts will take care of it and punish the ex. The wrong move would be to demonstrate that you are a violent person and force your way into someone else's home.
Here's there was also a firearm involved. What if you get into a tussle with the guy carrying the gun, he slips, and then the gun goes off into the house where the kids potentially are? No one was thinking about the kids here.
