If you go into the bush without a .44 mag, you're asking for trouble!

Never shoot a bear with a hand gun. You'll make it mad.

If someone wants to use a handgun on a grizzly they would be advised to first file the sights all the way down. That way it won't hurt so bad when the bear shoves it up their hind end.

A .357 properly positioned would not drop a grizzly?

No most likely you will have a very dead bear. I know several people who use their hand guns to take bears. I good bullet at a decent vel. results one dead bear. I talked to a hound hunter two years ago they shot a 600lb plus black bear the hounds had caught in a corn feild one shot from a 44 mag one very dead bear.
