As far as I know what you and your father are planning on doing is perfectly legal. My previous comment was just to make the gunshop comfortable with the sale. Yes, you could tell the gunshop that your father is buying the gun for you and is going to give it as a birthday present or whatever. Perfectly legal. But it is up to the shop to sell your father the firearm and if they are uncomfortable, they won't sell it regardless of the law concerning gifting. The tough part is when dancing around trying to make the shop comfortable, you actually make them suspicious.
You ask if I have done this? Nope. Most shops I do business with know me already. So, there would be no question. Never tried to or wanted to buy a handgun until I was over 21.
Maybe just play it straight. Worst that can happen is you go to another shop.
