Product Description

The Krakens for the venerable 1911. 

Our signature checkering pattern blends function and art into a grip that encourages proper fundamentals and techniques. Inspired by the tentacles of an octopus, each hex features a contoured boss, while the contour lets the pistol rest naturally in your hands.

This balance of function and fashion is then topped off in the anodized colors of your choice.

Our 1911 grips fit government and commander size 1911's and variants, and each pair are cut for an ambidextrous thumb safety.

Each set is precision machined from 6061 aircraft aluminum and then finished in the Type II anodizing colors of your choice. Add matching basepads and a mag release button from the dropdown menus.  

*Due to variations in frames and manufacturers over the years, some aftermarket parts may require fitting. We always suggest the services of a qualified gunsmith. Anodizing is an electrochemical process which forms a protective layer of oxide around aluminum parts. The colors produced by this process can vary from batch-to-batch, and even part-to-part. Lighting, angles of photos, and even the type of screen the photo is being viewed on can impact what the colors look like. We do our best to give you the most accurate and consistent colors we can, and thank you for understanding slight variations.

    I started with CZ Shadow 2 Compact Palm Swell Krakens and they were wonderful. I decided to look into the 1911 Krakens during a sale period and I LOVE them! You can't go wrong with Vytal!

    Ordered the case-hardened grips. They look great and feel good. Work well with the magwell. Different than other 1911 grips. I would recommend them.
