9mm luger refers to the type of cartridge, NOT to the manufacturer of the firearm or the cartridge in question. The terminology is used to differentiate the various TYPES of 9mm ammunition, like 300 Winchester magnum vs. 300 H&H magnum, or 7mm Mauser (7X57) vs. 7mm Remington magnum. Cartridge nomenclature can be very confusing to those who are not familiar with it (and those who are).

Having said all that, I do not feel any 9mm Luger (or 9mm parabellum, to use another term) is adequate for hunting whitetail deer, whether made by Buffalo Bore or anyone else.
