My wife and I took the NM CHL class. We have not only "action type" restrictions, but also cannot carry anything larger than what we qualified with. IE, if you shoot with a .38 revolver, you can only carry revolvers up to .38/.357 diameter. If you want to carry either revolver or semi, you have to shoot with both, and if you ever want to carry a .45, you have to shoot with .45 (or larger). I was semi-seriously tempted to show up with a Desert Eagle .50 and a S&W .500 borrowed from friends!
So if you qualify with a 9mm, you can carry a Draco (7.62mm)?
Or an AR-10 pistol, or an AK pistol, etc, yes, as it's based only on bullet size. Qualify with a .45 Colt, and I believe you're able to carry a .460 S&W, as they're identical diameter bullets. Qualify with a .50 AE, and carry a single-shot .50 BMG pistol (if you can conceal if of course!).

The required course of fire at 3 yards says:
B.Ten shots(10)fired in a “Two Shot Exercise” 3 seconds allowed for each two shot sequence
This means that a gun has to hold at least 10 rounds in order to fire five consecutive two shot strings.
How do you get around that?

The same way they do in instructor school? Don't think I've seen a 10 shot revolver...

I got around it by reloading between strings. There's plenty of time for competent shooters to manage ammo.

Less than .32 caliber.

I have not had anyone use a revolver during 2013 with the exception of my last class. I had only one lady bring her snub-nose .38. She shot terribly with it and I offered to let her use one of my semi automatics. She tried a couple and shot much better in practice but then went back to her .38 for the actual qualification...she didn't want to use a different gun than her husband recommended. She ended up passing but could have done much better with a semi.
