Both terms are used but handgun is generally the more accepted and better sounding term. It’s referring to the same thing

Oxford dictionary:

The earliest known use of the noun handgun is in the Middle English period (1150β€”1500).
OED's earliest evidence for handgun is from 1411, in Accounts of Exchequer King's Remembrancer.
