Yes, and cheaper too.  But here's the problem:  I've got my thumb working 
one of the puppet's arms, the "pointer" and "middle" fingers in the neck, 
and the fifth finger or "pinkie" in the other arm (ridiculous names for 
fingers).  All that's left is the "ring" finger, and it's just not at a good 
angle to work a trigger.
