You must not only deal with Oregon Law, but also with the Feds.
Federal Law says that you can't purchase anything but a rifle or shotgun from an FFL:
Title 18 US Code, Chapter 44:
(b) It shall be unlawful for any licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to sell or deliver—
(1) any firearm or ammunition to any individual who the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe is less than eighteen years of age, and, if the firearm, or ammunition is other than a shotgun or rifle, or ammunition for a shotgun or rifle, to any individual who the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe is less than twenty-one years of age;
Title 922: Unlawful acts
sub-paragraph (x) says that no one may transfer a handgun to a "juvenile", and that it's unlawful for a "juvenile" to possess a handgun except in certain circumstances.
18 USC § 5031 - Definitions:
"For the purposes of this chapter, a "juvenile" is a person who has not attained his eighteenth birthday, or for the purpose of proceedings and disposition under this chapter for an alleged act of juvenile delinquency, a person who has not attained his twenty-first birthday, and "juvenile delinquency" is the violation of a law of the United States committed by a person prior to his eighteenth birthday which would have been a crime if committed by an adult or a violation by such a person of section 922 (x)."
Convoluted, but I THINK it means that (under Fed Law) you (under 21) may not own a handgun, nor possess one except under certain circumstances.

Kevin Starrett of the Oregon Firearms Federation has a book out: "Understanding Oregon's Gun Laws". I got mine at Fisherman's Marine Supply for $12.95. He references https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors166.html and Title 18, USC.
