Yep, the 150 prefix was 1972-1974.
Aftermarket grip panels are indeed unobtainium. I do happen to, ahem, know a guy who has more OEM panels than one man needs....
My Sec-6 is a somewhat scarce 150 prefix stainless. I do find it uncomfortable to shoot for extended sessions. It beats up the 'thumb web' pretty good. I keep it because it was my first of the 6's and because of the relative rarity.
Also, not to be persnickety, but there are recorded instances of 151 prefixes with the low back frames. They are quite rare. Like the saying over on Ruger Forum, "Never say never with Ruger."
