The U.S. Secret Service has officially adopted Glock as its new duty pistol. Since 1998, the Secret Service has armed its agents with a duty carry SIG Sauer P229 pistol in .357 SIG.
U.S. Secret Service Adopts Glock Pistols
Now, the Secret Service will become the latest federal law enforcement agency to switch and carry Glocks and may do so off the existing CBP contract. It appears the U.S. Secret Service will initially spend $1.3 million to purchase the 9mm Glock 19 MOS Gen5 TLR7. Along with that, the Secret Service Special Operations will be allowed to carry the 9mm Glock 47 MOS Gen5 with X300 sights.
After more than 28 years, this moves the premier protection agency in the world to a 9mm Glock platform. This, in effect, aligns the agency with the State Department and U.S. Special Operations military units that use Glocks.
