“I think the handgun law is federal.”

The question is, does that affect only their ability to purchase a handgun under the age of 21, or their ability to own one under the age of 21?

Can I legally gift my 18 year old son a 9MM handgun if I wanted to?

That was the question I do not know the answer to.

No, under Federal law anyone under 21 cannot possess a handgun.
