The term "parlor pistol" has come to be used for any Flobert type pistol, but the real "parlor pistols" were used in some fairly serious target shooting and had decent grips, good (often adjustable) sights, and long barrels, often mimicking (as they were intended to do) the .22 and CF pistols used for outdoor target shooting. Maybe those little guns could be called "parlor plinkers" or something.
