.22s with silencers were favored for assassination type actions, but those types of actions would be rare for most CIA folk to do directly. From my understanding, a lot CIA people armed themselves similarly to the police detectives of the day. I imagine a short barreled revolver in a shoulder holster would have been standard fair if they went armed at all. I think this rig is perfect for sitting at a desk and typing reports, and there was/is no shortage of that in any law enforcement/federal agency. Take my opinion for what its worth, I wasn't even alive in 1975, but I love history and talking to folks that were there.
