It's on the Daily Deals, with the $245 price crossed out, and no other price listed.
You have to put one in your cart for this price to pop up.
Everywhere I checked had them for $250ish.
Guess it's worth posting?

Great trigger, good price.

You can also buy the SSA & put a lighter trigger spring in & have an SSA-E.

Just bought one yesterday from PSA. Never used a 2 stage, how will this compare to my CMC single stage for hunting?

That's a fair price. I paid $179 for one of mine over a year ago.

The SSAE is pretty light. For hunting applications, I'd prefer the CMC 3.5, but that's just me. YMMV.

That's an awesome price!

I've bought 3 of them from PSA while on sale, 2 of them came with 10 PMAGs, which was an awesome deal.

The SSA-E and SD-E (same thing, flat bow trigger) are positively my favorite AR15 trigger

I prefer the SSA-E for precision shooting like hunting. It has some take up but then a nice crisp let off. In my experience, the CMC is pretty light but has more of a rolling break.

I like the one I got in the PSA lower I bought. Got lotsa Howa experience, plus some with a Hawkeye Predator, so 2-stage doesn’t bother me; kinda prefer it anymore.

I certainly prefer a nice 2-stage on an autoloader. No problem to take up the slack and then treat it like a single stage.

I liked the SSA-E so much, I finally got them in all my rifles. Slowly procured them one by one when I'd see them on sale during holidays. They feel so natural to me now.

And, these PSA Deals are turning out to be a great thing.

Interested in this . Can the lighter spring be bought from Geissele ?
I’ve got an SSA that is a little heavy for my liking.

It's my favorite. I also like the LaRue and the Schmid Tool ones, but the SSA-E stands above.

IAW Geissele, they're not the same trigger, the SSA and SSA-E have different breaks by design and weight. Watch the 18 minute mark:




"Carrot" SSA VS SSA-E which is lighter and crisper (19.2 minute mark in the video)

I've got one. It's the best AR trigger I have ever felt. First stage is light with a definite wall. It can easily be staged and shot like a 2 lb. match trigger. You just have the advantage of the first stage if using gloves or wanting greater safety. If shooting rapid fire, you can pull through the first stage without even noticing anything except a smooth trigger.

I shot competition for years and know what a good trigger is. Stock AR triggers feel like 10 miles of gravel road even when polished compared to the SSA-E. I can't recommend it enough.

Just installed SSA-E and boy is this thing is nice!! Going to try it at the range Saturday and if I like it as much as I think I'm going to I will probably replace a CMC single stage on one of my other ARs also.

Functionally & pracitcally, they WILL be the same, just not certified as such. Ditto for a GS2.

Bill Geiselle makes great products, but he's also a businessman & a slick salesman always up-selling & never bashful about his pricing.

YMMV

Far be it from me to argue with a guy that knows more than the manufacturer, but I got this response from Geissele a few minutes ago:

Quote
Good Afternoon Chuck,

Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in our products. Typically, we ask how the firearm is going to be used to determine the best trigger. Both the SSA and SSA-E are great choices however they are geared in different directions. The SSA is engineered as a combat trigger, and as such has a little flex or forgiveness engineered into the break which we refer to as a "carrot-like" break.

The SSA’s two-stage design allows the trigger to be light enough for accurate and precise shots, but forgiving enough for CQB. The SSA is safety certified by the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center as well as SOPMOD certified. The SSA and the select fire version of the SSA the Super Select Fire (SSF) have been in use for many years by JSOC and SOCOM units as well as many Federal, State, and Local tactical teams. This also makes it a great trigger for hunting where you may be on a stalk or not supported and you need a trigger that is a bit meatier but still breaks very clean. https://geissele.com/super-semi-automatic-ssar-trigger.html

The SSA-E has a smooth, light first stage take-up and a crisp, candy cane-like second stage break. The SSA-E really shines on a static, supported precision rig where good glass and accuracy at distance are paramount. https://geissele.com/super-semi-automatic-enhanced-ssa-e-trigger.html
