Of the two you list I would probably go with the 10 mm with hard cast 220 grain bullets. But having been up-close and personal with a grizzly and having seen one in full charge (fortunately the charge was at a caribou and not me) I want more power. I would opt for a Ruger Redhawk with 5 1/2" barrel in .44 mag, with a hardcast 300 grain bullet. For a holster I would go with a Simply Rugged holster and Chesty Puller Suspension System. https://www.simplyrugged.com/ecommer...160&parent=672 Personally, if I go back I'll carry my 6 1/2 barrel Super Blackhawk in .454 Casull loaded with heavy hardcast bullets.
If a bear charges you, it's probably going to come from short range and you're only going to get off 1 or 2 shots so the high capacity of the auto is not going to be a big advantage. I want to hit that bear as hard as I can with that 1 or 2 shots.
