As long as it is a LEGAL transfer, such as a gift from a family member in a Free State, OK. Otherwise you should be researching the rules on Straw Purchasers.
The Baby Eagle used to have the frame and slide manufactured by Tanfoglio of Italy, same outfit that makes the Force, which is imported under a BUNCH of names, including EAA Witness, TZ-75, TA-90, Springfield P-9, and at least one other I can't remember. The true "cousins" of the Tanfoglio would be the Canik and AR-24 pistols, being clones of clones copied from the Tanfoglio by Turkish gun makers. Also nothing wrong with them, good solid shooters.
