If you can hit a 7 inch square at 7 yards with ~ 20 of your 24 shots, slow fire, you will have no problem passing the shooting part of an official OC CCW training class. As The Gimper said, for OC you'll shoot "24 rounds ea. at 3, 5 and 7 yards", 72 rounds total per gun -- that's the OCSD requirement. IIRC, the target is a TQ-16 and the "torso" area is a 7x8 inch rectangle. Again, there is no time requirement (other than finish before the instructors want to go home.) You could even put the gun down and stretch between reloads -- you don't need to use speed loaders at all. Once you get "approved for further processing", your packet will include a list of official OC CCW instructors to choose from.
The 400 rounds for the FTA class is not likely CCW, but rather more general self-defense training. Yes, you'll probably shoot all of the rounds. There's a lot of training you can take, depending on your finances and how much you want to shoot.
As for wheel vs autoloader, I prefer the latter because of the grip I was taught. I get better accuracy. YMMV.
