I'm curious where Harry got the gun. Unless it's some kind of railgun, the bullets can't be safely transfigured. Perhaps he asked one of the professors to get it for him. While given guns to children is normally incredibly dangerous, it's par for the course in Hogwarts.
Remember back when Harry asked the Weasley twins to get him an unspecified muggle artifact? Many have speculated that it might have been a gun.
There was a section about him sending out someone else to buy Muggle items. A gun seems a straightforward item.
Getting a handgun in Britain is not straightforward, although I suppose wizards would have certain advantages in this department.
He did tell Fred and George that their contact might have to go outside Britain for some of the items, so...
It was considerably easier before the Dunblane massacre (1996).
Wizards can travel quite fast via appariting and the floo network. They might have brought it at another country.
It's probably one of the Muggle items that Fred and George provided for him.
He ordered it from Fred and George earlier when he handed them a huge list of stuff for contingencies.
