SWAT Magazine is now hosting the SWAT Exchange, a free firearms and tactical-gear related buy, sell, & trade board. Setting itself apart from GunBroker and other boards, SWAT Exchange requires users to upload photographs of the actual items.

Also, the exchange includes plug-ins for easy sharing across social media, allowing posters to spread the word about sales faster and easier. Unlike forums, users do not have to sign up to browse and contact the seller.

For ease of navigation, shoppers are able to easily pick categories including but not limited to optics, gear, reloading supplies. The strongest categories are tactical gear, which has a plethora of gear from manufacturers including body armor.
