Product Description

The Krakens. 

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 of our palm swell design naturally lifts your hands higher into the pistol. 

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.

    Kraken S2C grips, Palm swell blackout.

    Posted by Ben Chisholm on Oct 15th 2025

    Liked them so much ive got them twice, wish i didnt have to but i cut my first ones a little too jagged to fit a flared magwell. Unsatisfied with my own mistake i replaced them with a new set. no complaints. little pricey but so is everything else.

    Love the style, but functionality is crucial.

    Posted by Rene Vazquez on Oct 14th 2025

    I've been on the hunt for the perfect upgrade to my CZ Shadow 2 Compact and Carry for months, and let me tell you, the Vytal Palm Swell Kraken grips are nothing short of a revelation. From the moment I unboxed them, I was hooked. These aren't just grips; they're a masterpiece of precision machining that turns your everyday carry pistol into a work of art without sacrificing a single ounce of practicality. I adore the style, but functionality is crucial, and Vytal delivers on both fronts in spades. If you're tired of grips that prioritize one over the other, stop scrolling and grab a set of Vytal Palm Swell Krakens. They've transformed my CZ from a solid shooter to my go to rig, and I can't imagine going back. 5/5 style that turns heads, function that wins matches. Vytal, you've got a fan for life.

    Black camo Krakens are fire!!!

    Posted by William Griffen on Sep 22nd 2025

    Not only the best looking grips you can find but I would say they are absolutely a necessity if you like function to go along with their looks. The fit and finish is flawless. Palm swell pulls your hand deeper into the grip getting your hand locked up under the dovetail! Texture feels amazing not too rough and definitely not slippery at all. If you want unique along with function give Vytal manufacturing a look. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

    Fit and finish is amazing. I was worried about the grips, not being aggressive enough, but they are perfect for CC

FLAGSHIP CHECKERING PATTERN


Our most popular and versatile design,

blending function and art to deliver

a one of a kind upgrade for your favorite CZ. 

DESIGNED WITH PURPOSE


Each hex has a contoured boss inside of it, designed to leave space for your hands to fill. Grab the pistol hard, and you are rewarded with a positive purchase without discomfort from overly aggressive checkering patterns.

PALM SWELL PROFILE


Our palm swell design isn't there just for the sake of adding mass. We took the opportunity to place that swell in a geometrically advantageous position that helps lift your hands higher into the gun, which helps you mitigate recoil and get back on target faster.

THIN PROFILE


Sometimes less is more. Our thin profile Krakens mimic the dimensions of the OEM aluminum grips. Need something slim for carry? Here you go.
