Is a CA-7.62x25 a high-powered gun?

The Tokarev used this cartridge and was considered to be one of the first magnum powered semi automatic handguns .... of course it's obsolete now with .50 AE Semi autos handguns being commonly available.

Huh? I would think the Tokarev would be decades too late to be "one of the first mangun powered semi automatic handguns", considering that the same round was used in an autopistol in 1896. FYI, while CZ-52 loadings tend to be more potent than the orignal loadings for that cartridge, the Tokarev is designed for a lighter loading.
