I am not sure about a legal limit, but in some states there is a practical limit for cartridge handguns, because police have to approve every purchase and some simply will not do so beyond some undetermined number that they make up as they go along. In other states there is a "one-a-month" law that limits purchases to 12 in a calendar year, so that also imposes a de facto limit.
