The Velocity is 990 FPS These are more for self defense or range shooting. You shouldn't have an issue with deer at close range.
Josh, with the given velocity, you would be fine for deer within about 50 to 60 yards. Are there better rounds, sure. Same Grain of 147 but velocity 275fps faster - https://www.underwoodammo.com/products/9mm-luger-plus-p-plus-147-grain-bonded-jacket-hollow-point?variant=7865903775801
Hunt ethically. More punch means more forgiving shot placement. Some states require a set amount of energy as well as some might not allow pistols in general (assuming your not using a carbine, anyway)
I would never use a 9mm for deer hunting I have seen to many injured deer attempting to be put down by law enforcement with good quality hollow points to ever think that it would be a ethical hunting round
