Hermit; The 9mm Luger cartridge is not acceptable for game over 50 lbs., particularly not deer.
Jerry; You may want to widen your search to include earlier Lugers like the 1920s. Many of us actually prefer these earlier ones, and they are all the same, anyway, except some of the pre-war pistols are .30 cal. (7.62 Luger) rather than 9mm. You can pick up a nice 1920 in 9mm for $450-$550. Browse this site to see some examples.
