If you're worried about bears----how do you know that the problem bear will be a small one? If you're going to to use a .357, I'd go to a 4" K/L frame and load it with Federal 180 grain hardcast ammo (assuming you don't handload). Don't rely on hollow points in a .357 for bear work. My bear pistol is 5" S&W 629 .44 mag loaded with 285 grain hardcasts. That's still marginal. The 360 w/ Gold Dots would be fine for cats / humans providing you can hit with it. I've not shot that particular model but I have a Model 60/2inch /adjustable sights in .38 special that is much more difficult to hit with than my K frames (2 1/2"or 4").
