GECONews

Despite the great care we invest in the production of our GECO® pistol- and revolver cartridges, it is still possible that in rare cases, defects in workmanship may creep in that are not noticed immediately. This applies to products with the aforementioned lot number. In individual cases, the load of the cartridges may not live up to GECO’s usual high standards of quality and functionality, leading to malfunctions in the internal ballistics.

Due to the great success of the new GECO Optics product line, we have begun expanding this segment to reflect individual and needs-based customer demand. The result is a uniquely broad portfolio of optical products. In order to optimally and transparently cover all the demands of hunting and sports shooting, a range expansion is planned for 2019 in two of the three lines. We are presenting the Red Dot 1x20 Gen II for hunters and sports shooters as a new addition in the segment of red dot sights. The 10x50 RF will also be launched as an optoelectric device with an integrated rangefinder to complement the binoculars portfolio.

The IWA – Europe’s lead expo for firearms and ammunition – will take place in Nuremberg from March 8–11,2019. Here we would like to present our newest products for everyone who was unable to attend the fair. GECO has extended its range for IPSC sport and tactical shooting by adding the COATED COMPETITION SLUG.

The IWA has been one of the most important expos for sports and hunting firearms, ammunition, optics and accessories for over four decades. Sadly, consumers are not admitted to the event, as it is only for members of the profession. But to make sure you don't miss anything, we will be presenting our latest news from the tradeshow right here. This year we will be introducing the GECO ACTION EXTREME for the finishing shot and self defence, as well as the extended range of high-accuracy cartridges in the GECO HEXAGON series. What's more, we will use the Nuremberg expo to show you our upgraded portfolio of percussion caps for pistols and rifles.

GECO has announced the release of two new lines of personal defense ammunition: RED ZONE and ACTION EXTREME. Each of these new lines embody the required features and standards of modern defensive ammunition, including excellent deformation with deep penetration and high residual mass. By meeting these demands, GECO has ensured that RED ZONE and ACTION EXTREME can be trusted and relied upon for personal defense.

Despite the great care we invest in the production of our GECO® blank cartridges, it is still possible that in rare cases, defects in workmanship may creep in that are not noticed immediately. This applies to products with the aforementioned lot number. In individual cases, the load of the cartridges may not live up to GECO’s usual high standards of quality and functionality, leading to malfunctions in the internal ballistics.

First of all we would like to thank the Organization Team under Markus Wohlmuth, as well as all Range Officers and helpers for the virtually perfect organization of the GECO Masters 2018. We certainly appreciate the commitment and hard work they invested to showcase the GECO brand.

Focused on and designed for the fundamental demands of hunters, sport shooters and nature lovers, we are expanding our successful range of high-quality targeting and observation optics. GECO has offered rifle scopes and binoculars of the highest optical and mechanical quality at a uniquely fair price since the IWA Show 2017. We will show you the new GECO optics from IWA 2018 right here.

The IWA OutdoorClassics is considered the most important international trade fair for hunting and sporting arms, ammunition, optics, outdoor equipment and security equipment for over 40 years. Only authorized dealers and visitors have access to the trade fair in Nuremberg/Germany. For this reason, we inform you here exclusively about our new products. This year the focus is on expanding our GECO centerfire rifle cartridge line. In addition, a customer-oriented packaging feature has been implemented for hunting rifle cartridges.

The GECO Masters 2017 organization team had to contend with extremely difficult conditions in mid-September. Preparations were delayed by deluge-inducing rains. On the day right before the competition began, water had to be pumped out of the booths at the shooting range in Philippsburg. Everyone was relieved that the competition could begin punctually on Friday and that no further inclement weather interrupted the flow of events. The organization team led by Markus Wolmuth and all helpers have certainly earned our appreciation.

The PPC 1500 World Championships took place from August 14–20 in Alsfeld, Germany. 375 marksmen from 15 countries had registered to take part, of which 44 were of the High Master rank. This made these Championships one of the largest PPC 1500 events worldwide, with some of the best competitors in the world.

From August 27 to September 3, the 18th world championship in dynamic handgun shooting will take place in Châteauroux, France, in accordance with the regulations of global umbrella organization, International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC).
