On NBC News tonight, the judge identified the Federal Sky Marshal firearm as a Glock. Ok, so I'm a gun nut, but Sky Marshals use Sig Sauer P229 in .357SIG just like the Secret Service.

Is every Sky Marshal required to use the same gun? I figgered it would be somewhat left to the discretion of the seasoned professional, considering many of them probably have been law enforcement officers elsewhere and could have become comfortable with using a gun other than that supplied by the Federal Government.
