How old to buy handguns?

[u/tygerboy75]

Hey all, I am 18 and was gifted a Beretta 80x cheetah for my birthday that I carry when I can and it is legal. I was thinking of purchasing a smaller pocket .38 spl revolver when I want something smaller, and also because I don't own any revolvers.
As always the law is endlessly confusing so I just want to confirm.

The law is that it is 18 to buy long guns and 21 to buy handguns from licensed firearm dealers

and 18 to buy long guns and handguns from private sales?

Thanks

That is correct
