I am wanting to give my 18 year old nephew a handgun for his birthday. Is this legal? I heard that you cannot buy a handgun at 18 but you can recieve a gift of a handgun. Can someone help me out.

I have purchased more than one handgun for my son before he was 18. The gun was purchased by ME and kept in my gunsafe and only used when supervised by me. When he turned 21 I gave him the guns.
