My uncle is interested in buying a handgun for personal and home defense, but he wants to buy privately without going through an FFL. Could I legally sell him one of mine if he lives in a different state?

Very few states require private sales go through a FFL. CA is one and some others I don't think VA is one that does.

If you sold a handgun to him and he lived I another state yes it would have to go through a FFL.
