Sleeve gun and wrist gun are generic terms for a small firearm designed to be concealed under a long-sleeved coat or jacket—in fictional examples there is often a device with a mechanism to extend it out into the hand to fire.

Real examples

The Welwand sleeve gun[1]

The "sleeve gun" was developed during World War II by Station IX of the Special Operations Executive. The design was by Hugh Reeves.[2] It was essentially a version of the noise-suppressed Welrod pistol, minus the pistol grip, and produced in both .32 ACP and 9×19mm.[3][4] Between 150 and 200 of the guns were manufactured almost certainly by Birmingham Small Arms Company.[5][6] A Mark 1 version was designed but it is unclear if it ever made it off the drawing board.[7]

Fictional examples

Though designs vary, most fictional sleeve guns involve a small conventional pistol on a sliding or telescoping rail, which quickly releases the weapon into the hand for firing,[8] either by a trigger mechanism, or just the sudden movement of the forearm. Such sleeve guns have appeared in multiple media.
