– Sherlock to John[1]
- Weapons expertise: Due to his military background, John was a incredibly skilled marksman, perhaps with equal skill to his wife Mary. He was able to mortally shoot Jeff Hope from the location opposite his own, separated by several metters, without injuring Sherlock.[1] He was also able to threatens to shoot the Golem, to a sufficient menacing manner so that he obeys him.[3] He also had at least some knowledge of weapons, apparently being able to recognise a rifle as a hunting rifle from the 40s, although his hesitant tone seemed to indicate that this type of weapon was not his cup of tea.[4]
- Hand-to-hand fight: Due to his military training, John was proficient in unarmed fight. During his fight against the Golem, he was able to restrain it for a short period of time before being thrown to the ground, overcome by the superior strength of his opponent.[3] During his brief argument with Sherlock, he was able to quickly overpowering and restraining him after the latter punched him.[5] He was able to quickly defeat a junkie while searching for Sherlock in a druggie brothel and threatening to break his arm.[2] Finally, he was able to quickly restraining and disarm Sherlock while he was attemping to stab Culverton Smith.[6]
- Investigative skills: While far of being as skilled or prolific as Sherlock, John was a quite skilled investigator of his own right when left alone. He was able to deduce when the Black Lotus Gang' smugglers were meeting based on Brian Lukis' diary.[7] At Sherlock's instigation and by imitating his methods, he was able to discern that Carl Powers was a child wearing retro 80s style trainers/they were in fact vintage by observing his shoes.[3] He was also able to put together some clues on his own during the Baskerville Inquiry.[8] He was able to find a clue during the case of the kidnapped children in the form of a red novel in the bedroom of one of the children, linking it to the one he had received that very morning. Later, he managed to discovering the involvment of Mycroft in Moriarty' scheme.[9] During Mycroft's foray into 221B, he even managed to guess that Mycroft and Sherlock had a hidden brother/actually a sister, although he later claimed he was only joking.[6]
