There is a reference in Josiah Gregg’s monumental "The Commerce Of The Prairie" dealing sith his travels on the Santa Fe Trail and Chihuahua Trail, to his demonstrating his Colt’s repeating pistol to an Comanche chief ( they were trading with his band) somewhere in the vicinity of the 100th Meridian after crossing into " Mexican” territory. This would have been on a return trip thru Oklahoma and not on the Santa Fe Trail. Gregg unholstered and showed the chief the gun then fired several shots in rapid succession. He mentioned the chief caught on to his demonstration and took his bow and shot just as many arrows in just as many seconds!

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
