Not to me.

Plus the added expense of milling and installing the paddle that should have been there all along... and then a neckbeard brace to top it off???

Whatever makes folks happy, but I'll never understand it.

I'd also rather have a SAR-1 than a Saiga, so I'm sure that's equally insane to folks of a different perspective.
HK Parts makes a drop-in roller tip paddle mag specifically made for the SP5K. $250. Installed in the comfort of one's home.
