Since there is no national registration and most U.S. states don't require registration, it's very difficult to say the exact number. Estimates range from about 180 million to about 300 million, depending on who you ask.

How many unregistered handguns in us?

Since most states don't require registration, and there is no federal law requiring registration, most of the handguns in the U.S. are unregistered. "Unregistered" is a misleading term. It implies that a person has failed to do something that is required.
