What guns do the CIA use

Field officers; after WWII; did carry the Walthers P-38/S some with threaded barrels (for suppression) or, the Walther PPK/S (suppressed or, not) as, a huge stock of Nazi weapons were found in the firearms factories in Europe These weapons were unregistered and, thus were ideal for the field; also, the ability to quickly change barrel blocks and, file firing pins, barrels, etc. was a big plus (for the P-38) as quick disposal if needed was assurred. Before the war the OSS used a chopped Colt Commander Officer's model or, a Hi Standard suppressed 22 long rifle pistol. Currently; the Agency issues no formal weapon as Law Enforcement is not the mission; however, most carry a Glock 26 as 9mm is easy to procure worldwide or, a Barretta thomcat SAD the Commando unit of the Agency use whatever is common in the region of operations All field officers train with a large selection of weapons although they need not be experts in all of them. Hope this answers the question.
