Hey Verti,

I'm sorry that I was trying to be humorous....no harm intended. I think that I did give you a legitimate alternative to your plan (taking the 357). I searched your original posting as to the selection and the first four answers were the 357. However, I also saw that your 357 is a 5 shot 3" revolver. I still think that would be my choice. Maybe it's because I know the round better than the other two. I still think you are under gunned. If you are staying close to your dad, take the one you're comfortable with.....13 shots is going to put a serious cramp in a bears style.

That said, I would go with Bandit's suggestion. I would rather penetrate than just lodge a couple against the shoulder.
