The devil is making me say this--popular items are seldom sold. 
 
Bencher (and some others) also make single lever paddles.  Try a few 
different models till you find one which you like.  I have found Vibroplex 
single-lever paddles at hamefest at reasonable prices.  Just keep looking.  If all else 
fails, make a manufacturer happy with a sale of a new unit.  

I've tried to use the squeeze keyer paddles--without activating the keyers 
iambic mode--with little success.  I think I caress the paddle fingerpieces a 
bit too firmly.

After you get "serious" about CW operating, I'd recommend your looking at 
either the LogiKey K-1 or K-3 keyers.  A Ten-Tec radio, good smooth paddle and a 
LogiKey keyer are the best tools ever made for CW operating.
