GECO Masters 2026: Double Success for the GECO IPSC Team
A one-two finish in the Production Optics Division and a special product highlight:
The 15th GECO IPSC Masters, held from 2 to 4 October 2026 in Philippsburg, delivered top-level shooting sport and gave visitors the opportunity to try out the new Beretta 94X.
GECO IPSC Team Secures First and Second Place
The 15th GECO IPSC Masters once again brought together international IPSC shooters in Philippsburg. The Level III match provided the perfect setting for exciting competition and the exchange of ideas within the IPSC community.
It was a particularly successful weekend for the GECO IPSC Team, with Dylan Keppel (NED) and Luis Ehrhardt (GER) securing the top two positions in the Production Optics Division.
Dylan Keppel claimed first place with 1,394.4010 points, successfully defending his title from the previous year.
Luis Ehrhardt completed the GECO one-two finish with an impressive second place and 1,296.1259 points.
Beretta 94X Takes Centre Stage
Alongside the sporting competition, the new Beretta 94X attracted considerable attention. To mark Beretta's 500th anniversary, visitors had the opportunity to put the new pistol to the test at the dedicated shooting range.
The test shooting proved to be a great success. The Range Officers played an important role in supporting the operation of the test range and assisting visitors. Colleagues from Italy and a representative from Manfred Alberts were also on site.
A Successful IPSC Event with Outstanding Performances
The 15th GECO Masters offered a successful combination of top-level IPSC competition, exciting new products and personal interaction within shooting sports community.
GECO congratulates all winners on their excellent performances, with special recognition going to Dylan Keppel and Luis Ehrhardt for their outstanding results at the 15th GECO Masters.
A big thank you also goes to the organisers, Range Officers and everyone involved in making the event such a success. We look forward to the next GECO Masters!
