I got mine from ADCO and didn't see it in stock anywhere else.
My midway account doesn't show any back orders for it either. It just says "coming soon". Midway's dealer price for the S2S is the same as ADCO.

I have now extensively used both these triggers and as Ive said a number of times, the KAC 2stage trigger when done right(properly adjusted since it's design allows such) is a perfect feeling SSA, and now S2S trigger. After numerous rounds to the naked touch, these triggers absolutely feel the same down to the pull weight, stage length, and crispness of break.
One retails for $329.00...the other retails for $125.00
You be the judge...quality, construction, and overall design hopefully is captured in the below comparative pictorial.

See better pics below...
eta..just for clarity I used a new S2S and a slightly used KAC for those pics, however I have owned and used multiple units of both triggers now and in the past.
Looking at those pictures, I'd imagine that Geissele tumbles their parts between casting and final machining. The KAC parts have rougher surfaces where the surface roughness doesn't matter.
How's the surface finish on the sear? Both manufacturers use wire EDM, I believe.
Contact surfaces...GA triggers never seize to totally amaze me!

My original SD trigger with well over 10,000rds on it now....this trigger will go in the dirt with me at the end of the day!

And finally how about an appearance from the famous SSA....compared to a SD-E

Anybody got any feedback to share with us on these triggers...mine are still flawless.
For those who have been on the fence about whether or not to pick up a Geissele trigger, but haven't taken the leap due to the cost of them...I strongly recommend taking a serious look at this trigger that delivers very impressive performance for the buck.
The reason I personally took the leap way back when I got my first couple of SSA's was because I was tired of fighting with the colt stock g.i. triggers in my 6520's. It's a real PITA breaking a gritty 7-9lb. stock trigger, moreover any kinda shot that requires precision or distance is all but outta the question when you cannot predict at all when your particular shot is gonna break.
I was very nervous about putting a 2 stage trigger with a lighter pull in my rifles, however now after several years, I won't own a rifle without one. The ability to actually "setup" a shot(i.e. using the first stage to reach the second stage "wall"), and then control the exact moment it breaks(breaking the second stage "wall") is quite advantageous to say the least for anyone demanding accuracy or distance from their rifle. Also keep in mind that you give up nothing to a stock g.i.type trigger in terms of speed as well.
The only downside ever to a Geissele trigger the way I see it is the cost to upgrade into one of them, the S2S trigger has made that downside a whole lot easier to deal with given it's $125 price tag vs. previously having only $170-$280 price tags to choose from.
I am still working with the S2S.
I have not been able to do a whole lot with it other than 100 yd zero and some 25yd presentations, but that will change shortly.
I helped a friend install an S2S in a lower build yesterday and did some very minimal testing (both dry firing and live firing). Feel is just about identical to a Geissele SSA that I have - so close I don't think I could tell them apart without looking to see what's written on the side. I don't have nearly enough time with it to say anything else, but it looks like a winner so far.
Got sad news for you guys..
You better get the S2S now if anyone has them in stock. I was just told by Geissele that they will not be selling the S2S for resale anymore except to rifle builders who order minimum quantities of 50. Plus they are not for resale for those who do buy the minimum quantity. :(
