I believe Grizzly Bears are Brown Bears but not all Brown Bears are Grizzly's

I also believe that with all modern revolvers there is no reason to leave one chamber dry. That is an Old West safety precaution that no longer applies because of the transfer bar safety and others.

.357 would not be my first choise for a Grizzly handgun but it would work well.
I would shoot as fast as I could accurately. At 40 yards you might have only 3 seconds to draw and fire. You should be able to get 2 or 3 shots off if it is still coming fast you probably need to take careful aim and shoot one time and then run.

Hold on to the gun because it the bear catches you, you can still possibly do a contact shot to the chest or better yet head. People who say "save one round for yourself are either joking or stupid. I would shoot the gun dry then try a knife or beat the bear in the head with the gun. Never give up!
