Texas Ranger Jack Hays used that technique to his advantage. Armed with a single shot rifle and two Colt Patersons.

Kill one Comanche and the others would rush in thinking he had to reload and he would kill another. He had only eleven shots (lost powder horn) and lasted 3 hours until his partners came to back him up.

I have been up on Enchanted Rock a few times where Ranger Hayes performed that amazing shootout.

Admiral Nimitz was from Fredricksburg, TX and there is a nice museum there about a half hour drive away from Enchanted Rock.
