If you attempted to fend off a fully grown bear with a .357 Magnum, you would stand a pretty good chance of that bear's next bowel movement being your final epitaph. The notion of using a pistol to fend off a bear attack is ridiculous to begin with, but, if you're going to try it, you need something with a bit more punch - you'd find the .454 Casull or .500 S&W Magnum much more adequate for the task. You could probbably even get a kill with a .38 (if it was a good shot). I would't use a .357 on grizzly or kodiack but black bear...yes.
