With Gel penetration tests, including those that include typical FBI barrier tests like plywood and sheetrock , even for long 9 mm bullets with a comparatively high sectional density like the 147s, I am not sure accurately relate to heavy boned animals. I have a background in the area having run the weapons and ballistic testing for years at a large Leo agency.
Laminated auto glass at an angle btw was the killer for most pistol hollow points, even some of the bonded ones.
In the end It all comes down to shot placement and penetration on a large animal.
If you are talking about black bear a 9mm bonded 147 jhp may get the job done just fine, but for straight on penetration assuming I may hit a hard bone like the skull/shoulders or hit at a less than ideal angle I would take a hard cast flat point 9mm if I could choose.
My normal carry woods gun is a Ruger lcrx 3 inch 5 shot 38 special with a fiber optic front sight. I use underwood 158 hard cast 38 spl and get right 1090 fps with it. The gun is a joy to carry but at 15 ozs with that load it barks a little. I tested it on some 2x4s and a buck(not mine) that I found hunting that had been gut shot and died, went through both front shoulders and dug a good ways into the clay under it.
For brown bears country I like a G20/29 with 200 or 220 hard cast flat points or my Dads old 4 inch model 66 with 180 Swift A frames.
All that being said. Something is better than nothing, so go with what u have but know its limitations.
