So, yeah, load it up for bears, SD, or the range. The nice thing about a high performance machine is that you don't always have to use the performance - but it's nice to have should you want it.
Certainly not faulting you.
I used to do a lot of hiking in places where you wanted to have something a bit shouter in your backpac. So I "Plinked" with my .45
