The United States Secret Service (USSS or Secret Service) is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security charged with conducting criminal investigations and protecting U.S. political leaders, their families, and visiting heads of state or government.

In the absence of the vice president, the president pro tempore may administer all oaths required by the Constitution, may sign legislation, and may fulfill all other obligations of the presiding officer. Unlike the vice president, however, the president pro tempore cannot vote to break a tie vote in the Senate.

The Constitution requires the Senate to elect a president pro tempore to serve as presiding officer in the absence of the vice president. The president pro tempore is authorized to preside over the Senate, sign legislation, and issue the oath of office to new senators.

Again, given the professional attire that the Secret Service wears it stands to reason that the Raven Concealment Perun LC will be the holster of choice for non-operational wear, but the Glock 47’s use is likely to be limited to tactical roles.

While the Sig Sauer P229 DAK and FN Five-SeveN are the only handguns authorized for on-duty Secret Service agents, the Sig Sauer P226 is authorized for off-duty carry. This full-sized service pistol has seen numerous duty roles with both military and law enforcement agencies since its release in 1983.

The United States Secret Service is moving forward with plans to outfit its agents with Glock 9 millimeter (mm) pistols to replace the agency’s existing Sig Sauer . 357-caliber duty weapons — part of a larger move among U.S. law enforcement agencies towards the lighter, more efficient guns.
