With HD and CCW covered with other weapons my must have 9mm pistols list for just range fun would all be high end target pistols. Here goes:
1. SIG P210 Super Target
2. SIG Sauer P226 X-Five
3. S&W 952
4. CZ 75 Tactical Sport
5. Tanfoglio Elite Limited

At one time, I had been a VERY avid shooter and gun owner for years and owned quite a few guns. However, I didn't, and never had owned a single handgun chambered for the 9mm Luger cartridge. I was a hard core 1911 guy. But there is one issue that you have to face: some of the coolest handguns ever made, are 9mms.
I eventually bought a 9mm, and then another, and another..................
The ones I would pick are the same ones that many others in this thread have already picked.
In order:
Glock 17: not a good looking gun, but IMO the best all around 9mm. I view this gun as a tool. I am not "into" it. It is my everyday carry gun and for that reason, every time I go to the range (at least once per week), I fire one magazine from one of my Glock 17s at a fairly rapid pace concentrating on concentrating on the front sight, rapid sight picture, and smooth consistent trigger control. I don't particularly enjoy doing this. I do it first to get it over with and then move onto guns I really enjoy owning and shooting. If I could only own one handgun, this would probably be it. If I could only own one 9mm handgun, this would definitely be it.
Browning Hi-Power: elegant. Enough said.
Beretta 92: I enjoy shooting this gun, but I bought it primarily just because I thought that a decent American gun collection should contain an example of the currently issued US Military sidearm. It is one of a few double action pistols I own which gives me something else to play with at the range.
CZ 75: I don't own a CZ 75 and probably never will. But it looks to me to be a very nice looking gun and from all accounts I have read; is one of the best.
I guess for number five I might pick a Sig. I don't own a Sig. I once owned a .45 ACP Sig and it was a fine handgun. Again, I will probably never buy another Sig, but it isn't because they arn't great handguns. Its just because I already have more guns than I can shoot as much as I would like and I don't need another one.
I suppose one of the historical guns would be appropriate. I own a couple Lugers, a couple P38s but they don't really do much for me. The fit into the catagory of some something I always wanted, then after I got them and played with them, the novelty quickly wore off. Compared to other 9mms, the single stack magazines are a serious limitation. I have a Walther P1 that is a good shooter and is cool to look at but I doubt I would go out looking for another one. My Lugers are not real nice examples: they are servicable but compared to the other 9mms I already listed, it is near the rear of the pack.

With the "tools" taken care of, focusing on a collection, I'd have to pick guns that were significant advancements in gun technology pertaining to the cartridge.
1) P-08 Luger (started it all)
2) Browning Hi-Power (1st successful double stack)
3) S&W Model 59, or 3rd Gen variant of it. (1st "Wondernine")
4) Glock 17 (totally changed what handguns are)
5) Kahr PM-9 (a 9mm smaller than many .380's)
5 1/2) Beretta 92 (current military handgun)
.

1) CZ 75 pre B, B, BD full sized or compact, or clone
2) S&W 39-2 (or the 4/5/639 which is essentially the same gun with the option for an ambi safety and more modern sights --- and a different sear and a firing pin block...but other than that, same gun.)
3) Glock 17 - any gen, but my personal preference is gen 3
4) Sig P225
5) can't think of a fifth...I'll come back later for this one.

Of the five 9mm pistols allotted, I have made four choices: Beretta 92, SIG 226, S&W 6906 and CZ 85. I am missing a Browning Hi-Power to complete the five pistol limit ensemble.

I've had a bunch of 9mms. Only 9mm I currently own is the Kahr PM9. It is a keeper.
If I had a bunch of money, I might add:
--HK P7M13 (had one, but sold it).
--Springfield EMP (had two; second was a factory replacement for the first. So many problems with each that I couldn't list them all. Finally gave up in frustration. I'm sure they are much better these days.)
--Maybe a Rohrbaugh or, more likely, a Kimber Solo.
