First you have to tell me- is strawberry or chocolate best? That is a matter of opinion, and so is "best gun" in any setting. While the Colt Peacemaker had it's fans in the old West, so did Smith & Wesson, Forehand & Wadsworth, H&R, Iver Johnson, and others. Handguns might be ball and cap, or newer cartridge arms. The name Colt .45 may be famous, but the .44 Remington also had fans. Sorry, no ONE best.
To legally purchase or own a handgun, you must be 21.
In 1873 the Colt Single Action Army revolver sold for $17.50. Other handguns could be purchased for less.
One is 6 months old, one is 120 years old- but we can't answer your question. Please rephrase it with some information on YOUR handgun, and repost it.

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.
first you will have to furnish type of handgun. revolver, pistol ??? then the MODEL....
Rifle, shotgun, or handgun? The 10 gauge shotgun at close range would be very high on the list, as would some of the buffalo rifle cartridges, such as the 45-110. The .45 Colt revolver was possibly the most powerful handgun of the day.
