The primary [[handgun]] for marshals is usually a [[Glock 22]]. Deputy Marshals may also carry a backup gun, but it must meet certain requirements.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.usmarshals.gov/usmsforkids/week_wed.htm |title=U.S. Marshals Service for Students: A Week in the Life of a Deputy U.S. Marshal: Wednesday |publisher=United States Marshals Service |date=13 April 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170414020420/http://www.usmarshals.gov/usmsforkids/week_wed.htm|archive-date=14 April 2017|access-date=15 March 2023}}</ref> Deputy Marshals are also equipped with body armor and collapsible batons for daily use, and ballistic shields, helmets, and protective goggles for serving high risk warrants.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

Members of the U.S. Marshal SOG Teams are armed with The Staccato Model P 2011 pistols in 9mm Parabellum. They have both a full size with a red dot sight as well as a smaller, more concealable version for covert operations. In 2019, the SOG adopted the STI 2011, a 1911 platform of pistol that is modified for USMS SOG needs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.guns.com/news/2019/07/24/exclusive-u-s-marshals-special-operations-group-adopts-sti-2011-pistols|title=Exclusive: U.S. Marshals Special Operations Group Adopts STI 2011 Pistols|website=Guns.com|first=Chris|last=Eger|date=24 July 2019|access-date=February 1, 2021|archive-date=February 5, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210205102736/https://www.guns.com/news/2019/07/24/exclusive-u-s-marshals-special-operations-group-adopts-sti-2011-pistols|url-status=live}}</ref>

All marshals have a variety of AR-platform rifles, shotguns, and less-lethal options available for their use. Recently, the service has introduced a [[body-worn camera]] (BWC) program. Marshals are issued various body armor including a concealable vest, a tactical vest that accepts their soft-armor panels and rifle plates, as well as a rifle plate only carrier depending on their needs. Ballistic helmets and shields are also available.
