12 gauge with round ball at 1,500fps to 2,000fps would be my choice - better than most commonly available slugs, like the Fosters.

I agree on this. I tend to subscribe to the old story "If you carry a handgun for self defense in grizzly country file off the front sight"-the rest isn't exactly appropriate. A handgun with enough power to reliably kill a charging grizzly is going to have enough recoil to make it tough to get off more than one or two rounds. With that little time, I want a stock and longer sight radius.
