I believe this exchange as related by Holmes is what you are asking about:
___"You have less frontal development than I should have expected," said he at last. "It is a dangerous habit to finger loaded firearms in the pocket of one's dressing-gown."
___The fact is that upon his entrance I had instantly recognized the extreme personal danger in which I lay. The only conceivable escape for him lay in silencing my tongue. In an instant I had slipped the revolver from the drawer into my pocket, and was covering him through the cloth. At his remark I drew the weapon out and laid it cocked upon the table. He still smiled and blinked, but there was something about his eyes which made me feel very glad that I had it there.
___"You evidently don't know me," said he.
___"On the contrary," I answered, "I think it is fairly evident that I do. Pray take a chair. I can spare you five minutes if you have anything to say."
___"All that I have to say has already crossed your mind," said he.
___"Then possibly my answer has crossed yours," I replied.
___"You stand fast?"
___"Absolutely."

"The detection of types is one of the most elementary branches of knowledge to the special expert in crime . . . ." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' (By the way, this is one of only eight times Holmes used the word 'elementary' in the entire series.)
