21
To legally purchase or own a handgun, you must be 21.
By federal law you may own or possess a handgun at age 18, but you cannot purchase handgun ammo or a handgun from a dealer until age 21.
Under FEDERAL law, which applies in every state, you must be 21 to purchase ammo for a handgun. Ammo that may be used in a handgun or rifle may be purchased at 18 IF the seller knows that it will be used for a rifle.

A misdemeanor conviction can potentially prevent you from obtaining a handgun in Iowa.

It is recommended to consult with an attorney or legal professional to fully understand the implications of your misdemeanor conviction on your ability to obtain a handgun in Iowa.
It depends on where you are. In the U.S. 11 year old children cannot own a handgun, but it is legal under federal and most states' laws to possess the handgun for legal purposes such as hunting and target shooting.
