Hi Rhett,
Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
I have no experience with the EZ-off base pad, but what I believe that Dawson is referring to with the "2012 Para...Made in Italy", is our hi-cap .45 mags. We do use Mec-Gar for OEM in this case, as they have a longer overall length than the Italian .40 mags, and work quite well. This is only a guess though, and I need to find out for sure. I'm very sorry for any confusion.
Thank you for the help on this!
Best regards,
Travis
